What is African Bloodstone? 
African Bloodstone, often simply called Bloodstone, is a deep green form of chalcedony (a type of cryptocrystalline quartz) flecked with vivid red spots of iron oxide, resembling drops of blood, hence its striking name. African Bloodstone is specifically sourced from regions of Africa, notably South Africa, Madagascar, and the Congo. It has been revered since ancient times as a stone of courage, vitality, and purification. Known historically as the Stone of the Warrior, it symbolizes bravery, resilience, and protection.
History ~ 
Bloodstone has a legendary history dating back thousands of years. In ancient Mesopotamia, it was worn as an amulet to instill courage and protect against evil forces. In medieval Europe, it was sometimes called heliotrope (meaning "sun turner" in Greek), believed to have magical properties connected to the sun and vitality. Christian folklore even ties Bloodstone to the crucifixion of Christ, with legends saying the stone was formed when drops of Christ’s blood fell onto green earth or jasper. African Bloodstone, in particular, carries the traditional energy of Bloodstone with an added grounding and earthy intensity, reflective of the African landscape from which it comes.
