Bloodstone is a member of the Chalcedony family, recognized by its opaque dark green to brownish green background punctuated by distinctive red and reddish brown spots. Long prized in Christian and men's jewelry, bloodstone carries a rich symbolic history — Medieval and Renaissance Europeans believed it held healing properties and could stop bleeding. Early Christians associated the red specks with the blood of Christ at the foot of the cross. Bloodstone is also recognized as an alternative birthstone for March, making it a meaningful choice for birthstone jewelry designs.
These round cabochons are offered in a range of diameters suited for rings, pendants, brooches, and other jewelry settings. They are untreated, presenting the stone's natural coloration and character.
Care: Clean with warm, soapy water only. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
