Bloodstone
Is a dark green chalcedony quartz flecked with red, brown, or orange spots (iron oxide), symbolizing strength, vitality, and courage, historically linked to healing, protection, and prophecy, and is the traditional March birthstone, valued for jewelry due to its striking contrast. Mined globally, it's used in carvings and jewelry for its toughness and mystical folklore, particularly its legend as the stone stained by Christ's blood.
