How It is Created: Bloodstone is a variety of chalcedony quartz with a distinctive dark green color combined with specks and clumps of red jasper inclusions

History: The distinct blood red marks within the stone are often used for talismans because it is believed that the stone protect one from evil spirits. In medieval times, it was believed the blood specks came from the blood of Christ while he was being crucified as his blood dripped down onto the rocks. Legends such as the tale of Percival, one of King Arthurโ€™s knights who went on the quest for the Holy Grail, illustrate the combined qualities of bloodstone. Percival was a knight trained in the physical aspects of combat, but his quest took him into the spiritual realms, teaching him lessons about illusion and the power of unconditional love. In ancient times, it was believed that this stone could heal, banish negativity, and guide people who were lost. It was worn by warriors on their arms to help heal wounds during battle and to stop the bleeding quickly. It was also worn on the breast of a warrior to feel them with courage and strength. It was said to keep their morals high, even after very heavy casualties.

What It Can Do:

  • Banish evil spirits and negativity
  • Heal wounds and oneโ€™s mental state
  • Used to draw money and increase wealth
  • Clams fear and anger
  • Ensures victories in legal battles
  • Balances and ground the energy in oneโ€™s heart to promote action
  • Gives courage and teaches on how to avoid dangerous situations
  • Heal the ancestral line
  • Benefits blood-rich organs, regulates and supports blood-flow, and aids in circulation
  • Egyptians believed it shrank tumors

How to Get the Best Out Of: Wearing it as a bracelet or something on the arm area and a necklace near the heart is a great way to utilize bloodstone to its full potential as it works well near the bloodstream and blood-rich organs like the heart.

How to Cleanse and Charge: Cleanse it by running it under water or bury it in your garden for a deeper clean. Charge it by placing it under a full moon or using green and red candles around it.

Crystal Grid:

General Well Being

Layout: Lemniscate

  • 1 clearing crystal
  • 1 light-bringing crystal
  • 1 immune-balancing crystal

Crystals to Use:

  • Bloodstone
  • Green Aventurine
  • Que Sera (Llanoite)
  • Quantum Quattro
  • Cherry, Rose, Smoky, or Emerald Quartz
  1. Hold your crystals in your hands and state your intention for the grid.
  2. Lie down.
  3. Place a clearing crystal beneath your feet (sit up to do so).
  4. Place a light-bringing crystal above your head.
  5. Place an immune-balancing crystal halfway up your breastbone over the
  6. higher heart chakra.
  7. Use the power of your mind to connect the lemniscate over and around you.
  8. Remain in the grid for five to fifteen minutes, focusing your attention and breathing gently
  9. into the immune-balancing crystal. If you become aware of energy that needs to shift out of
  10. your body, send it down to the crystal at your feet for transmutation.
  11. Remove the crystals in the reverse order in which you laid them, then cleanse them

Heart and Immune System

Layout: Lemniscate

  • 1 grounding crystal for the feet
  • 1 pinkish-burgundy crystal or immune stimulator
  • 1 emerald-green crystal or immune soother

Crystals to Use:

  • Emerald
  • Emerald Quartz
  • Fuchsite
  • Cherry Quartz
  • Rose Quartz
  • Ruby
  • Garnet
  • Green Aventurine
  • Lepidolite
  • Bloodstone
  • Que Sera

  4. Lie down fully.
  5. Place one crystal above the heart on the higher heart
  6. (thymus) chakra.
  7. Place one over the heart seed at the base of the breastbone.
  8. Check your heartbeatโ€”it will quickly indicate which crystal should be placed above, and which below. If your heartbeat feels too rapid or is pounding heavily, or if it feels too slow and heavy, switch the crystals around.
  9. Use the power of your mind or a crystal wand to trace the lemniscate, crossing the circles over your heart.
  10. If dizziness results, breathe deeply and send the energy down toward the crystal at your feet for transmutation.
