Jasper Pet Wood

Because red jasper stones instilled confidence and courage it was known as a warrior�s stone. Today it�s mostly used as a worry stone, the ability to give confidence and courage especially helps those with fear of embarrassing themselves when speaking in public.

A simple small stone or pebble should work, though you could get it set in a necklace to be able to wear it on your skin at all times.It can also be useful for those who worry too much when starting something new, such as a new job.

You should simply touch it when you need that bit of extra confidence.�As jasper works better when touched.
