Red Jasper Aten Sundrop Necklace

Red  Jasper can be found in Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, and USA.

Inspired by Aten/Aton, the Sun God in traditional ancient Egyptian religion. Aten was the original sun god that the more popular sun god Ra was derived from. Aten was more of an aspect of Ra and is depicted as a solar disk terminating in human hands. Aten creates the son in the mother's womb, the seed in men, and has generated all life. I guess you could say Aten gets a ten outta ten for giving us life lol, bad dum tsssss.
