Care & cleansing Red jasper is a true quartz-family stone at roughly Mohs 6.5–7, making it reasonably durable. Brief rinsing under running water is generally fine to clear dust, but avoid prolonged soaking, saltwater, and harsh chemicals, which can dull the polish over time. Dry it with a soft cloth afterward. If you prefer to cleanse energetically, gentle methods such as smoke, moonlight, or sound are common alternatives to water.
