Jasper - Red - The red color of this stone makes it very energizing. It's also a fine protective stone and strengthens the will. I've found red jasper powerful because it's able to safely ground and channel excess energy. It's associated with the root chakra.

Jasper - Yellow Jasper - Yellow - Yellow Jasper is grounding and energizing in a similar manner as the red jasper, but the energy is a bit more bright and active. It's a good stone to promote courage and overcome anxieties.

Quartz - Rutilated - the rutilations are fiber-like strings of minerals within clear quartz. These rutiles seems to channel and focus energy, much like antennae. Because of this property, rutilated quartz makes a very potent tool in magickal working, since it transmits and enhances energy.

Sandstone - Sedona Sandstone - Sedona - There is an area in Arizona, US that is said to have many energy vortexes, and people have been drawn to the area to take in the energy emanating from the native iron-rich red sandstone. Sandstone isn't often used as a magickal stone, but the iron-rich content of Sedona Sandstone makes it good for empowerment, strength, grounding, and energizing the chakras.
