100% natural Bloodstone beads.

Bloodstone is a form of Chalcedony and is considered the most beautiful of the Jaspers.

Bloodstone was well known by the Aztecs during the 13th century and was used in ceremonial rituals, where the blood of a doner would activate the stone and then be under its control. Once the blood drips or is washed off of the stone, the person would then be freed from its power.

Even today in India, vividly colored bloodstone is crushed into powder and used as medicine and an aphrodisiac. The powder is mixed with egg whites and honey and is then applied to the skin. This use removes much of the finer quality bloodstone from the market making it a rare find.

Bloodstone

The bloodstone beads I get from Tejas Beads is the best quality, nice splotches of red on dark green. Haven’t found any better anywhere.

Adding variety with light green aventurine

I plan to string these with light green aventurine beads to add depth and interest to a simple project. They are as pictured.

So happy I went here for these beads! They’re beautiful and pretty evenly colored throughout the strand I received

Beautiful Beads

Beads are beautiful.

Bloodstone Smooth Round

Fast delivery. These beads are beautiful and love their color tones. Well drilled and nicely smooth. Great purchase

Wish they had a bit more red to them because I bought them specifically for a blood stone donut pendant but I may still be able to incorporate them into the necklace.

These beads are beautiful. I was hoping for a bit more red in them. They are 95% green which changes the necklaces I bought to make with them originally but they will still get used.

Beautiful beads arrived in perfect condition, Thank you for the fast return on my order.
