Bloodstone

Stone Metaphysical Properties 

Bloodstone - Technically I’m an opaque chalcedony with a hardness of 6.5 to 7.  I’m a dark green with red spots and blotches.  The Greek called me Heliotrope meaning “sun turner” but history has lost the reason why they chose that name for me.  In the middle ages the red spots were thought to be the Blood of Christ and magical powers were attributed to the stones.  I have been discovered in India, China, Brazil, Australia, and the USA.  

I’m a great purifier, an excellent blood cleanser and powerful healer.  I work to dispel negative energies and influences from the auric field bringing balance to the body.  I heighten intuition and increase creativity.  I’m an excellent grounding and protecting stone. I bolster courage and teach one to avoid dangerous situations.  I help to calm the mind, dispel confusion, and enhances decision making.
