New Pendulum - Bloodstone

[Lynn]

Hello

I have not had a pendulum since I was a teenager. ( lol almost 50 )

I was in England recently thinking I would find what called to me there but no such luck. Today I stopped into a friends store and she had "just" the one I was looking for. I wanted Bloodstone ( that is not the issue ) but I so did not want it in silver chain. I wanted the ball style with the pointed bottom.

Well I picked it up today and it was the right one for me. I have been using it already and its giving the right information.

Here is what I know about Bloodstone



Bloodstone -

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.

The Greeks and Romans wore bloodstone to gain endurance during athletic endeavors and to secure favor of those in power to bring renown to them. Gnostics believed that this stone prolonged life and brought untold wealth.

Bloodstone (also called Heliotrope- which is from two Greek words: Helios, the Sun and tropos, to turn) is a variety of chalcedony, used generally for carvings such as amulets and cameos. The dark green of bloodstone is spotted red due to the presence of iron oxides. These spots appear to resemble blood, hence the name bloodstone.

Wow, that sounds so interesting. I don't think I've heard of bloodstone, but I've love to find a piece one day. As a pendulum, I'm sure that would be pretty powerful.

Hmm I bought one since I had a dream where I was using a bloodstone pendulum. I had only an amethyst one (that I love). I bought the bloodstone one to be a secondary one and it hasn't "gotten" me yet... I am trying my best to bond with it!

My mother's signet ring is bloodstone, I have a cast for my father's signet ring so I'm planning on getting my dad's cast with the bloodstone, as a way of keeping them together - in my life.

It's a powerful stone.

Hello

The stone is very strong. I finally surrendered it to a friend and he got it to activate. I do not use it much. What I have noticed is that the more its used the better the reds are coming out in the stone. Its had a major transformation in appearance. Too it came in a velvet bag but it does not seem to react well to being confined. I found that the energy is way nicer if its just laying loose. I take it from the bag it takes forever to warm up so to speak.

Should I not give up on it then? Should I continue to try to work with it and carry it around? How long did you carry yours before it started to work for you?

Hello

I would not give up on it if it calls to ye on some levels and it feels like it does. I tried sleeping with mine by the bedside but I felt the energy too strong. Its been laying open in the day and night light now in a friends bedroom and its a lot nicer to work with. I actually just used it to find some missing money and it worked wonders.

Give it a couple of weeks and see where it takes one. Patients among all things is a blessing when they come to work for us.
