A Stone of Strength & Good Luck

Bloodstone has long been attributed with powerful metaphysical properties. Throughout history, it has been believed to enhance strength, grant invisibility, and preserve health and youth. In modern times, many consider bloodstone a lucky charm, especially prized by athletes and those seeking to build resilience and endurance. Even today in India, fine bloodstones are sometimes ground into powder and used as an aphrodisiac. Bloodstone’s alternate name, heliotrope, comes from the ancient Greek word “to turn the sun.” In ancient times, these March birthstones were believed to turn the sun red if placed in water.
