Bloodstone Bracelet – Natural 8mm with Red Jasper Charm

The Natural Bloodstone Bracelet — genuine 8mm bloodstone beads with a red jasper charm, checked through our S.P.A.C.E. process and Reiki-charged before dispatch.

About the Stones

Bloodstone, properly called heliotrope, is a dark green chalcedony; the red flecks are iron oxide, not blood. Much of the best material in the world comes from India. Red jasper is an opaque chalcedony coloured throughout by iron oxide — which is why the colour runs right through a broken piece, and why jasper never takes the glassy polish that carnelian does.

Both are around 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, which makes this one of the harder-wearing bracelets we sell.

The Tradition

• Bloodstone is traditionally called the Stone of Courage
• Red jasper is traditionally the Stone of Endurance, associated with the root chakra
• Bloodstone is linked with the root and heart chakras in chakra traditions
• Traditionally worn for steadiness through a demanding stretch

How to Wear It

• Right wrist: the projecting side in crystal tradition — the usual choice for a "courage" stone.
• Left wrist: the receiving side — chosen for grounding.
• Wear it daily, or put it on deliberately before something you are not looking forward to.

Our guide to crystal bracelet types covers choosing between stones.

How to Spot Real Bloodstone

• Irregular red spots: natural flecks are random in size and placement, and some beads may have very few.
• Deep green base: the body is a dark, slightly translucent green, not flat black or painted.
• No surface paint: red spots that sit on top of the surface or rub off are painted imitations.
• Cool and solid: real stone feels cool and heavier than glass or resin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bloodstone bracelet?

A bracelet of heliotrope — dark green chalcedony with red iron-oxide flecks — traditionally known as the Stone of Courage.

Which hand should I wear bloodstone on?

The right wrist is traditional for courage and action, the left for grounding. Either is fine.

Is bloodstone suitable for daily wear?

Yes. At around 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale it is hard-wearing; protect the elastic from water.

Why is it called bloodstone?

Because of the red flecks, which are iron oxide. Its older name, heliotrope, comes from Greek words meaning "sun turning".

What This Is, and What It Isn't

These are natural chalcedony stones. Crystals have a long place in tradition and in ritual practice, and that is the spirit in which we sell them. There is no peer-reviewed evidence that any stone affects vitality, stamina, physical strength, courage or resilience, or treats a medical condition. Nothing here is medical advice.
