Bloodstone has been a vital stone in the history of human beings for centuries. Mined for over 5,000 years, Bloodstone has been prized as jewelry, cups, insignias, as a talisman, and for its “magical” properties. At one time in history, Bloodstone’s magical properties included invisibility, healing a nosebleed, controlling the weather, and preserving health and youth. 

Bloodstone is known as the hero’s stone, as heliotrope, and blood jasper. This multi-colored stone helps you recognize the benefit of turmoil prior to renewal. Bloodstone is known to help with courage and encourages you not to be selfish. It helps to calm your mind so you can make better decisions. 

Historical Folklore. 

Believed to control the weather and banish evil by the ancients. 

Called the Stone of Babylon by Alexander the Great.

Ancient magicians believed it could make them invisible. 

Because of the red flecks of blood, for a time bloodstone was called, “Christ’s Stone.”

Geology

Bloodstone is also Known as Heliotrope. It is classified as a quartz based gemstone that is either opaque, in which case its referred to as a jasper or when translucent a chalcedony.  Typically it is actually a combination of the two. Its red spots of “blood” are actually inclusions that come from a variety of Hematite trapped in the stone.

Tumbled Bloodstone Care

All gemstones are unique and special. Variation in color and inclusions are natural and to be expected. We have selected all parts of our handcrafted bracelets for their high vibration and quality. Bathe in full moonlight regularly to energize crystals. Cleanse regularly by placing on a piece of selenite or by moving through the smoke of sage. These stones can be gently washed with soap and water if necessary.
