Description: Bloodstone is a type of chalcedony or jasper, which are varieties of quartz. It is characterized by its dark green color with distinctive red or brownish-red spots or streaks, which are caused by the presence of iron oxide. These red spots can give the appearance of "blood," hence the name.

Bloodstone is sometimes referred to as heliotrope, a name derived from the Greek words "helios" (sun) and "trope" (turn), due to ancient beliefs that it could turn the sun red. This gemstone has been prized for its aesthetic appeal as well as its supposed mystical properties.

In addition to its use in jewelry, bloodstone has a long history of being used in carved seals, amulets, and other ornamental objects. It has been associated with various metaphysical properties, including protection, healing, and courage

Bloodstone is often associated with the Root Chakra (Muladhara) and the Heart Chakra (Anahata).

Bloodstone’s deep green color and its associations with protection and strength make it a good fit for the root chakra, helping to enhance grounding and support emotional resilience. The red spots in bloodstone are thought to resonate with the Heart Chakra, helping to promote healing and emotional well-being.
