📜 The Meaning of Bloodstone

Known since ancient times for its distinctive dark green color dotted with red, bloodstone—also known as bloodstone—was considered a protective and symbolic stone. In ancient Rome, it was used as an amulet to ensure strength and courage, while in the Middle Ages it was believed to have healing properties, particularly in stopping hemorrhages. Christian legend attributed it a sacred origin, linking the red spots to the blood of Christ, which is why it was often used in religious objects and seals.
