Bloodstone is a variety of quartz, generally coloured green or grey with flecks of red.

According to Melody 2004, this mineral is an intense healing stone and a “stone of courage”

It can be used to awaken and to introduce uniformity within the vibrations of energy in the base, navel, sacral and heart chakras. It helps one to accept the change in energy fields and to recognize the beneficial aspects of turmoil prior to perfection.

It helps one toward the direct union with the Divine through contemplation, meditation and love. It can also be used to dispel states of bewilderment and obscure thought.
