Hello

Bloodstone - a favorite of mine.....


Bloodstone, green jasper dotted with bright red spots of iron oxide, was treasured in ancient times and long served as the birthstone for March.

Medieval Christians often used bloodstone to carve scenes of the crucifixion and martyrs, leading it to also be dubbed martyr's stone. The legend of the origin of bloodstone says that it was first formed when some drops of Christ's blood fell and stained some jasper at the foot of the cross.

If you get it as pendulum it will usually be on a gold color chain. This seems to balance it off better.

It is a stone that either takes to you or does not take to you. There seems to be no middle ground with it from those I know that sell it and use it.

I gave mine to my middle Son as I felt that he was ready for it. It seems to like its new home.
