In Short

This is an AA-grade Bloodstone specimen from Hhohho, Eswatini. The red flecks scattered across the green chalcedony are iron oxide, the marking that earned bloodstone its name. It measures 4.22 by 4.17 by 2.68 inches at Mohs 6.5-7, fully natural and untreated. A favorite protection stone for entryways.

About This Bloodstone

Bloodstone is a dark green chalcedony dotted with red iron oxide inclusions that look like drops of blood on moss. The name is old, and so is the stone's reputation as a working-person's talisman. It is one of the oldest known gemstones, prized for centuries as a talisman of courage and vitality.

Sourced directly from Hhohho, Eswatini.

Traditionally Used For

Those who work with bloodstone often turn to it for 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. How you use it is up to you.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Low

Bloodstone sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
