Introduction

These African Bloodstone palm stones are rich, grounding, and full of life — a dark green chalcedony accented with earthy hematite and red jasper tones. Each piece is smooth to the touch, with natural mineral veins running across its polished surface, giving it both depth and character.

Geological Overview

African Bloodstone is a variety of chalcedony quartz from the silicate class and trigonal crystal system. Its distinctive coloration comes from the presence of iron oxides and jasper inclusions within dark green cryptocrystalline quartz. Found in metamorphic and volcanic environments, this stone often forms in association with hydrothermal fluids that infuse the chalcedony with its characteristic red flecks.

Aesthetic Appeal

Each stone carries a moody blend of deep greens, shadowy gray tones, and crimson spots — the hallmark of true Bloodstone. Polished to a soft luster, these palm stones display an organic mix of colors and subtle banding that shift beautifully under light.

Metaphysical Properties

Known as a stone of courage and vitality, Bloodstone has long been used to strengthen resilience and restore balance. It is said to enhance grounding energy, stimulate circulation, and inspire motivation during transformation or renewal.
