Detailed Product Description
Natural Bloodstone (Heliotrope) Bead Bracelet (8mm Beads)
This Natural Bloodstone Bead Bracelet is crafted from calibrated 8mm spherical beads of authentic Heliotrope, a distinguished variety of cryptocrystalline quartz (chalcedony). Each bead features a rich, deep forest-green jasper matrix punctuated by naturally occurring speckles and veins of red iron oxide (hematite), creating a handsome, earthy contrast that is unique to every single bead.
With a Mohs hardness rating of 6.5 to 7.0 and a compact microcrystalline structure, bloodstone possesses outstanding fracture toughness, resisting chips and scratches during normal everyday activities. The beads are polished to a tactile waxy-to-vitreous sheen and assembled on a heavy-duty silicone stretch cord for convenient, clasp-free wear.
Historically known as the "Sun Stone" or Heliotrope in ancient Greece and Rome, bloodstone has centuries of cultural heritage representing courage, fortitude, and physical vitality. We celebrate these historical motifs as classic gemological lore, clearly maintaining that gemstones are ornamental and symbolic rather than therapeutic or medical devices.
To keep the cord resilient, roll the bracelet over the hand rather than stretching it sharply. Clean with a soft damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleansers, chlorine pools, and intense heat sources.
