Bloodstone is a member of the Chalcedony family, prized for its opaque dark green to brownish green background accented by distinctive red and reddish brown spots. This stone has a rich cultural history — Medieval and Renaissance Europeans believed bloodstone carried healing properties and could stop bleeding. Early Christians associated the red specks with the blood of Christ shed at the foot of the cross. Today, bloodstone remains popular in Christian-themed jewelry and men's jewelry designs, and it serves as an alternative birthstone for March.
These oval cabochons are offered untreated, making them a natural choice for jewelers and metalsmiths seeking authentic gemstone character. Clean with warm, soapy water only.
Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
