Bloodstone: The Warrior Healer of Courage, Vitality Sacred Purification

Bold, grounding, and spiritually fierce—Bloodstone, also known as Heliotrope, is a crystal of inner strength, resilience, and sacred life force. Once believed to contain the blood of ancient heroes and saints, it has long been revered as a stone of courage, protection, and divine purification.

Bloodstone doesn’t just energize the body—it awakens the soul to fight for what truly matters. It calls you to move forward with grounded confidence, protect your energy, and purify emotional wounds that no longer serve your growth.

What is Bloodstone?

Bloodstone is a form of dark green Chalcedony (a cryptocrystalline Quartz) that contains iron oxide or red jasper inclusions, which appear like spots or streaks of blood—hence the name.

It is considered a powerful talisman of both warriors and healers, combining the earth’s grounding force with the fire of life running through our veins.

Its dual nature makes it an ideal stone for people navigating both intense transformation and energetic fatigue, or those needing strength during emotional recovery.

History Sacred Legacy of Bloodstone

Bloodstone’s spiritual roots are ancient, sacred, and richly layered:

• In ancient Mesopotamia, it was carried by warriors for bravery and protection in battle.
• Egyptians and Greeks believed it could stop bleeding and purify the blood, often grinding it into powder for healing elixirs.
• In Christian lore, it was called the “Martyr’s Stone,” believed to be formed when Christ's blood fell onto green earth during the Crucifixion—making it a symbol of sacrifice, protection, and spiritual strength.
• In medieval times, Bloodstone was placed in amulets to guard against evil spirits, curses, and illness, and to heighten intuition in battle or ritual.

It has always been seen as a stone of honour, courage, protection, and deep vitality, anchoring the sacred power of blood, earth, and life.
