Bloodstone • The Stone of Ancestral Healing

Vitality • Courage • Ancestral Healing

Bloodstone is the dark-green variety of the mineral chalcedony, which is a kind of microcrystalline quartz. The red spots in bloodstone are flecks of jasper, another kind of quartz. 

Bloodstone is believed to work on the circulatory system: strengthening veins, toning the heart, and fortifying the blood--all things that contribute to a long, healthy life. It is also associated with "getting your blood up"-the infusion of a person with courage and strength of purpose.

Bloodstone is often used in healing rituals, protection rituals, and strength-boosting spiritual practices.
