Buying bloodstone for a shop
Bloodstone is a dark green chalcedony, a fine-grained quartz, with red spots of iron oxide. The red flecks are where the name comes from. At about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale it is tough enough for bracelets, beads and pocket stones, and it takes a good polish.

- Round bead bracelets in 4mm and 8mm.
- 6-facet and bead pendulums in 3-packs, worry stones in 5-packs and tiny merkabas.
How it sells
Bloodstone is traditionally listed as a March birthstone, so it fits birthstone displays and gift sets. The dark colour makes the red spots stand out under warm light, so give tumbled bloodstone its own bowl rather than mixing it with other dark green stones.
