It is one of the oldest known gemstones, prized for centuries as a talisman of courage and vitality.
Our specimens are sourced from Hhohho, Eswatini.
In crystal traditions, bloodstone is often associated with a quiet sense of renewal, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and staying connected to your body and the moment. It's traditionally linked to the root and heart chakras. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
