Bloodstone is a powerful stone for pain relief, circulation, and providing comfort in the body. It is also beneficial for endurance, vitality, and physical strength. This stone can remove energy blockages in the body, helping to revitalize our energetic fields. During the Middle Ages, the red spots in Bloodstone were thought to be Christ's blood, and magical powers were attributed to the stones. The healing properties of Hematite stem from the stone's high iron content, which gives it a heaviness that feels like you are being anchored to the earth. Hematite is also a popular stone for pain relief, improving circulation, and increasing life force energy. With the simple act of bringing you back down to earth, Hematite protects, calms a troubled mind, and puts your spirit at ease so you can release any feelings of stress, tension, worry, or nervousness.
