Bloodstone

Bloodstone
The stone of courage, vitality, and sacred resilience.

Bloodstone is a crystal of grounded strength. Long revered for its ability to purify, stabilise, and energise, it supports the body and mind during times of fatigue, stress, or transition. It offers the kind of support that isn’t loud or flashy — just solid, trustworthy, and deeply rooted. It reminds you that resilience isn’t about pushing through, but about remaining present with your power.

Science
Bloodstone is a variety of cryptocrystalline quartz (chalcedony), typically dark green with flecks or streaks of red caused by iron oxide. It has a hardness of 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale and is sometimes referred to as heliotrope. The name comes from its resemblance to drops of blood on green stone — historically linked to vitality and sacrifice.

Locality
Commonly found in India, Australia, Brazil, the United States, and China. Indian Bloodstone is considered energetically rich and visually classic, often with bold colour contrast.

Chakra
Primarily aligns with the Root Chakra and Heart Chakra. It grounds physical energy while supporting emotional courage and deep presence.

Zodiac
Supports Aries for bravery, Libra for endurance, and Pisces for emotional stamina. Beneficial to anyone needing grounding, discipline, or emotional strength.

Element
Earth — strong, steady, and anchoring. Holds space for action without anxiety.

Crystal Energy
Bloodstone doesn’t offer escapism — it offers endurance. Its energy is steady, focused, and restorative. It’s the stone to reach for when life asks more of you than you feel ready to give — when you need to rise without abandoning your centre.

Used for centuries as a protector and purifier, Bloodstone was once carried by warriors and healers alike. Its frequency helps clear energetic stagnation from the body, especially when there’s fatigue, tension, or emotional weight dragging you down. It also supports circulation, vitality, and movement — making it a trusted companion during physical recovery, high-stress periods, or goal-driven work.

Emotionally, Bloodstone brings calm confidence. It helps you take action without panic, speak with strength, and move with integrity. It’s deeply empowering for those working through patterns of avoidance, burnout, or fear of confrontation. It offers grounded bravery — the kind that stays present even in discomfort.

This is a crystal that’s particularly effective when worn or carried close to the body, especially in routines that demand energy, boundaries, or consistent output.
