I have bloodstone crystals. I purchased it mainly because it is said to have healing abilities for kidney and blood issues, of which I suffer from both. Also because at the time before I purchased this stone, I was going through a terrible time in my life, and bloodstone was recommended to me to help me through it as well.
It is suppose to be a great stone for developing intuition too, I believe and is known as "the seers' stone" I think. The stone is also said to bear the blood of Christ in it--thus the red spots in this stone. It is suppose to help you to live a life like Christ as well, from stories I've heard from this stone. It is a pretty one. I use to carry it with me everywhere I went, but recently stopped doing so--not sure why.
I saw your post of the bloodstone pendulum you have--it's gorgeous! made me want to begin wearing my stone on me again. I'm not surprised that this stone picked you--if you are into using pendulums and good with divination w/it. Good luck to you with this!
downward--nice link. thank you!
in fact, I recall now too, thnx to that link that I was advised to also purchase the smoky quartz as shown on the right side of the link. I did so. found a gorgeous smoky quartz stone and I use to keep the two of them together. Toj, perhaps you should consider getting a smoky quartz too.
