Quick facts

Meaning & history

Bloodstone has been used and admired since ancient times, its dramatic red-flecked surface giving rise to centuries of folklore around strength and protection. As a form of jasper-flecked chalcedony, it sits within the wider agate and chalcedony family, though its bold coloring sets it apart at a glance. In crystal tradition it is linked to the root chakra and is considered a stone of resilience — many people carry it for a grounded, strengthening quality during demanding situations. It is often kept alongside other stones chosen for protection and grounding, or grouped with warm, energizing stones like carnelian.

How to use it

Carry bloodstone when you need steady strength through a challenging day, hold it during grounding practices or meditation, or keep it on your desk as a bold, earthy presence. Its dramatic coloring also makes it a striking addition to any small stone display.

Care & cleansing

Bloodstone is a hard, durable stone at Mohs 6.5–7, so it handles standard care well, including a quick rinse under water when needed. Dry it promptly and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning. To cleanse its energy, many keepers rinse it briefly under running water, pass it through incense smoke, or leave it under moonlight overnight. Because it is natural, the balance of green and red spotting varies from stone to stone.
