BLOODSTONE

About

Shop Natural Loose Bloodstone Gemstone & Cabochons Bloodstone is one of the most unique and historical gems. Bloodstone is a garnet-like stone, pocket of deep-green body color with fiery red spots. The combination of a dark base with red inclusions due to iron oxide (mostly of the mineral hematite) creates an original and easily identified stone, very texturally recognizable compared to the drops of blood on a dripping surface, thus the name Bloodstone. For centuries, Bloodstone has been valued as a healing stone, a stone of courage, and a stone of life. Bloodstone ranks 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means it is workable for most jewelry uses, albeit slightly softer than quartz. Bloodstone has been loved for many reasons, not the least of which is its physical appearance, but also its connection with strength, grounding energy, and physical healing.
