Bloodstone
Bloodstone
Bloodstone is a type of chalcedony. It has been around for centuries and has been known as “heliotrope”. It is the modern birthstone for the month of March.
It is a fairly hard stone, being a 7 on the Mohs scale. Quality bloodstone has a dark green base colour with splashes of red concentrations of iron oxide minerals, commonly hematite which are randomly arranged like splattered blood.
The colour pattern has the religious significance of being like the “Blood of Christ” which is where its name and popularity stemmed from.
Bloodstone is largely found in India with deposits also in Australia, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Madagascar, Russia, South Africa and the USA.
Meta Physical Properties
Bloodstone is a powerful healing mineral and a stone of courage. It can be used to re-align the vibrational energies in the base, navel, sacral and heart chakras. It can help to centre and ground and assists one to “be here now” and live in the present moment. It also assists one in managing the distress of vibrational re alignment.
Bloodstone has protective qualities helping to keep out undesirable influences and assists in adjusting one to unfamiliar circumstances.
Bloodstone has been used as an aid to enhance ones talents, creativity and decision making skills.
It has also been used to facilitate communication with the ancestors and in ancient times was thought of as an “audible oracle” which could warn of danger.
Bloodstone is a great blood and energy cleanser, immune stimulator and revitalizer. It has been used in the treatment of leukaemia and to shrink tumours. It has also been used in the treatment of the spleen, kidneys, bladder, liver and intestines. It is able to remove and eliminate toxins from the body.
