Bloodstone

Bloodstone

In the ancient world, Bloodstone (Heliotrope) was considered to be the most beautiful of the Jaspers, a deep, earthy green gem emboldened with spots of bright red. Called the Sun Stone, its energy carries the purity of blood and inherently speaks of life and birth, vitality and strength, passion and courage.

The Babylonians used bloodstone in their divination, and the Egyptians prized bloodstone because they believed it helped them to defeat their enemies. They also believed it increased their strength or made them invisible.

It was so loved for its properties, many used the gemstone in jewelry, signet rings, and even small cups or statues.
