African Bloodstone Tumbled Stone

Dark, earthy, and full of natural contrast. African Bloodstone typically displays deep green tones accented by naturally occurring red, brown, cream, gray, or darker markings. Traditionally known as Bloodstone, this material belongs to the chalcedony family and owes its distinctive appearance to mineral inclusions within the stone.

Energy and Intention

Bloodstone is traditionally associated with courage, strength, vitality, resilience, grounding, and protection. It can be a meaningful companion during demanding seasons of life as a reminder to stay rooted, conserve your energy, and continue moving forward with purpose.
