IF YOU PICK BLOODSTONE, YOU SEEK TO BE A WARRIOR ATHLETE.
♦ OLDEN DAYS MYTHS
Bloodstone was valued by many civilizations that believed it would stop the flow of blood from a wound. If you're getting banged up on the soccer field or being a little wild with the skateboard, maybe this is the stone for you!
♦ ROCK-SOLID FACTS
Bloodstone is also called heliotrope. It is dark green with red flecks and, like agate, it is a form of chalcedony.
♦ ROCK ON
Bloodstone was often carved into the shape of a heart, symbolizing its association with blood.
