About Red Sonora Jasper: Mexico's Desert Gemstone
Red Sonora Jasper belongs to the microcrystalline quartz family, registering 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. This durability makes it well-suited for daily wear in pendant settings. The stone's coloration comes from iron oxide inclusions, producing shades that range from brick red to deep burgundy, often interlaced with cream, tan, or occasional green streaks from copper minerals. Miners extract this jasper variety from deposits near the Arizona-Mexico border, where ancient volcanic activity created the conditions for its formation. The material takes a high polish, allowing the natural patterns to show with clarity. Because each section of rough yields different marking patterns, no two finished pendants share identical designs. SilverRush Style has sourced natural gemstones since 2005, and our Red Sonora Jasper collection reflects that experience.
