Benihesekigoku (Red Jasper) is a type of mineral also commonly called a red chalcedony, which is a variety of quartz, and in Japanese, it is sometimes expressed as "red jade" or "red chalcedony."
Benihesekigoku has a very beautiful coloration and is widely used as an ornamental stone for jewelry and sculptures, making it popular for appreciation and collection.
Benihesekigoku is not produced in Japan.
The main producing region is Myanmar (Burma), especially in Kachin State.
It can also be found in China and other parts of Asia, but Myanmar is famous and has abundant deposits.
Benihesekigoku is a type of jade, which contains two main minerals: jadeite and nephrite.
Jade containing jadeite is particularly known as jade.
The red color of Benihesekigoku is usually caused by impurities such as iron.
Other impurities can also change the hue and pattern.
The Mohs hardness of Benihesekigoku is between 6.5 and 7, making it quite hard compared to other minerals, but slightly softer than diamonds and sapphires.
Benihesekigoku ornaments include necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and pendants, but it is often processed into sculptures and figurines.
As a power stone, it is believed to have healing effects such as increasing vitality and providing energy.
It is thought to help enhance passion and life force, and promote self-expression and creativity.
It can assist in the process of self-development and self-realization.
It brings relaxation and tranquility.
However, these effects are not scientifically proven and are based on individual beliefs and experiences.
Since it is a natural rough stone, it is irregular and the coloration is not uniform.
Furthermore, it may contain impurities.
The images are taken under bright light, but under normal lighting conditions, it may appear slightly dull.
This is not a gemstone but a rough stone.
Please understand this before purchasing.
It might be good to process it into a gemstone using a natural stone polishing machine.
