Both Indian bloodstone and African bloodstone are available at Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. In the late Classical era, it was known as "the Stone of Babylon, " but by the Christian era, it was known as "the Stone of Martyrs." The crimson specks were supposed to symbolize drops of Christ's blood throughout the Middle Ages, which gave the stone its magical properties. It was said to cause rain, solar eclipses, and provide the ability to become invisible in the fourth century. Bloodstone Metaphysical Properties Aries, Pisces, and the purportedly "new" sign Ophiuchus are two Western zodiac signs that are linked to bloodstone (snake-bearer). As a result, the stone is associated with the months of February, March, November, and December. Bloodstone is said to function on the circulatory system, strengthening the blood and veins, toning the heart, and improving overall health. All of these things are essential for living a long, healthy life. It's also related to "getting your blood up, " which is when someone is given bravery and power of purpose.
