Bloodstone's dark green field flecked with red has carried a reputation for courage and vitality since ancient times, its red spots traditionally read as a sign of life force running through the stone.

Worn close to the skin, it's carried for:

Building courage in the face of difficulty
Grounding and revitalizing low energy
Protecting personal boundaries
Steadying the nerves before a challenge
