Blood Stone PointBLOODSTONE or heliotrope -(green and red) With its blood-red spots of Iron Oxide, bloodstone is considered one of the most attractive of the green jaspers. On the Moh's scale bloodstone is a 7.0.
According to one legend about the crucifixion of Christ, blood flowing from one of his wounds splashed on to dark green jasper lying on the foot of the cross- and from this sprang bloodstone jasper. The legend lasted through the Middle Ages and beyond and various sculptors have skillfully carved the head of Christ on bloodstone so that the red flecks represent the flow of blood dripping from the wounds inflicted by his crown of thorns.
The healing properties of bloodstone known by physicians as Lapis Sanguinarius, were employed for centuries by the native people in South America in the 1600's. "The virtue of this stone is much above that of any other gem, for it stops the flux of blood in any part. We have seen some that were troubled with the flux of Hemorrhoids who found remedy wearing rings made from bloodstone." The stone has also been known to help with Childbirth, stops bleeding, inflammations, balances emotions, grounding, neutralizes and eliminates toxins. Some of this information was taken out of the book The Healing Power of Gemstones, by Raymond J.L. Walters pages 38-39.
Bloodstone helps stimulates flow of physical cleaning energy, purifies blood, detoxifies organs, and adds to self-confidence, and harmony. It also helps with headaches, hemorrhage, bloodshot eyes, kidneys, heart attacks and high blood pressure. It works with the root chakra for grounding.
