Common Questions
Is this Bloodstone 100% natural and untreated?
Yes. This Bloodstone is certified as Natural Blood Stone by a government-recognized laboratory. It is completely unheated and untreated with no artificial enhancements. Bloodstone is rarely treated — its distinctive green color and red spots are formed naturally by mineral inclusions.
Which planet does Bloodstone represent?
In Vedic astrology, Bloodstone (Pitoniya) is associated with Mars (Mangal). It serves as an effective and affordable alternative to Red Coral (Moonga) for strengthening Mars energy. However, these are traditional beliefs, not scientifically proven facts.
Who should wear Bloodstone?
According to traditional beliefs, Bloodstone is suitable for Aries (Mesh) and Scorpio (Vrishchik) ascendants, March-born individuals, and those seeking courage and confidence. It is also recommended for Manglik Dosha remedy. Since Bloodstone is not a Navaratna gemstone, it is generally considered safe without strict astrological consultation.
What is the difference between Carat and Ratti?
Carat is the international unit for gemstone weight (1 Carat = 0.2 grams). Ratti is the traditional Indian unit. To convert: Carat × 1.09 = Ratti. This stone weighs 7.54 Carat which equals 8.29 Ratti.
Which finger should I wear Bloodstone ring on?
According to traditional practice, Bloodstone should be worn on the ring finger of your working/dominant hand. The stone bottom should touch your skin directly (open-back setting). Tuesday is considered the best day to start wearing it.
Which metal is best for Bloodstone?
Gold, silver, copper, and Panchdhatu are all suitable for Bloodstone. For astrological purposes, gold or copper is traditionally preferred as these metals are associated with Mars energy. Silver is also popular for its affordability and contrast with the green stone.
How is Bloodstone different from Red Coral?
Red Coral (Moonga) is the primary Mars gemstone while Bloodstone is an affordable alternative. Both strengthen Mars energy according to traditional beliefs. Red Coral costs ₹1,000-8,000+ per carat while Bloodstone costs ₹250 per carat — making it accessible for those seeking Mars benefits at lower prices.
How do I clean and care for Bloodstone?
Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperature changes. Store separately from harder gemstones. Remove before bathing, sleeping, or physical activities.
