Bloodstone is a strikingly beautiful gem
with opaline green chalcedony and hematite that resembles drops of blood.

Found in India, Western Australia, Brazil, Czech Republic, Italy, Nova Scotia, and the US,

it was sculpted in Medieval times for its powerful messages.

Ancient Babylonians, Romans, and Indians believed it had healing powers,
possibly due to the iron oxide inside.

Egyptians thought it made warriors stronger and even invisible, while Greeks thought it gave charisma.

Be courageous! Adorn yourself with this bracelet and share its history with friends.
