Bloodstone Meaning and Healing Properties

Bloodstone, also known as Heliotrope, is a variety of chalcedony, which is a type of microcrystalline quartz. It typically consists of dark green chalcedony with red or brown spots or streaks of iron oxide or hematite. The green color comes from chlorite or other minerals within the chalcedony. Bloodstone is known for its striking and distinctive spotted appearance resembling drops of blood, hence its name. It has been used historically for its associations with blood and healing.


Chalcedony precipitates from silica-rich solutions that permeate through cracks and voids in rocks, often during hydrothermal activity. The red spots or streaks in Bloodstone are typically hematite or iron oxide inclusions. These inclusions may form due to the presence of iron-rich minerals in the surrounding rock or through secondary processes after the chalcedony has formed.


Bloodstone has a long history of use in jewelry, amulets, and carvings dating back to ancient civilizations. It was valued for its believed metaphysical properties, including healing and protection. Bloodstone has been associated with courage, vitality, strength, and purification in various cultural and metaphysical beliefs. In Christianity, Bloodstone is associated with the crucifixion of Christ, with legends suggesting that drops of his blood fell upon green jasper or chalcedony, thus creating the appearance of bloodstone.


Bloodstone is an enchanting gem of courage, vitality and strength. It's known as the "Stone of Courage" and is revered for its ability to harmonize the energies of the body and the Earth. Bloodstone will ground and purify the root chakra, anchoring one's connection to the healing and rejuvenating energy of Mother Earth. It encourages stability, inner strength and connection to the Earth. Bloodstone creates a powerful layer of protection around the aura and stimulates the flow of energy throughout the body, enhancing physical vitality and endurance. Bloodstone is a companion that guides you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. It encourages you to explore the depths of your emotions and tap into your innate strengths.
