Bloodstone Sphere Heliotrope | High Red Variety

Bloodstone is believed to be a stone of courage, strength, and grounding. It is often associated with resilience, protection, and renewed energy during difficult or demanding periods. Bloodstone resonates with the root chakra and is thought to encourage steadiness, confidence, and a stronger connection with the present moment. Also known as Heliotrope, Bloodstone is a dark green variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz. Its recognizable red spots, streaks, or splashes come from iron oxides, especially hematite, creating the blood-like markings that inspired its traditional name. Bloodstone may also include areas of yellow, brown, white, or deeper red within its green body. With a hardness of approximately 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, Bloodstone is a durable natural crystal often shaped into polished freeforms, palm stones, cabochons, carvings, spheres, and beads. Its deep forest-green coloring and dramatic red iron-oxide inclusions make Bloodstone a classic choice for mineral collectors, crystal displays, meditation spaces, and March birthstone gifts.
