Bloodstone

Description:

Bloodstone, also known as Heliotrope, is a form of dark green chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz) speckled with vibrant red spots of iron oxide or jasper. These distinctive red “blood” flecks are what give the stone its name and bold reputation. Bloodstone is primarily found in India, Australia, Brazil, China, and the USA.

Historically, it was revered as a sacred stone with protective and mystical powers. Ancient warriors carried Bloodstone for courage and healing, and it was even believed in medieval times to have the power to stop bleeding and purify the blood.
