Healing Properties of Bloodstone

Bloodstone is a powerful crystal that believers say can help build confidence, courage, and determination. Its strong vibrations encourage spiritual tenacity. Place it under a pillow at night to encourage more lucid dreams when sleeping and hopefully wake up feeling more energetic the following morning. Keep it around when making decisions and when you need to bring balance and harmony of the mind, body, and spirit.

Bloodstone as a Zodiac Stone

The bloodstone and the creative Aries are the perfect companions. A stone believed to enhance physical strength and courage will provide the positive energy that the head-strong Aries needs in order to get things accomplished. It tempers the negative traits as well, providing a sense of grounding for the sometimes impatient and quick-tempered person born under the Aries sign.

Bloodstone as a Birthstone

The bloodstone is one of the birthstones for March. It symbolizes strength and is often carried or worn as a good luck charm. It is considered to be a stone of courage that protects its user from harm. For those born in March, this gem represents leadership and goal achievement.
