Red Jasper: The stone of physical vitality and endurance. Nourishes the Root chakra's life force, supports physical health and stamina, and provides the slow, steady energy of the earth itself. Particularly effective for chronic fatigue and low physical vitality.

Hematite: Iron oxide — the densest and most physically grounding of all crystals. Anchors scattered energy back into the body, supports focus and concentration, and provides the magnetic grounding of iron. Hold when feeling anxious or disconnected from the body.

Garnet: Activates the Root chakra's vitality and passion dimensions. Supports physical energy, courage, and the life force that animates the body. Also works with the Heart chakra for deep, committed love.
