African Bloodstone Hope Stretch Bracelet

African Bloodstone, sometimes called Seftonite, is a chalcedony...a variety of quartz. It is colored green with red spots caused by hematite and other iron oxides. Bloodstone is thought to be a powerful healing stone and blood cleanser.

Another legend of this stone comes from the Middle Ages and claims the "Blood Stone" was formed at the crucifixion of Jesus, when the blood from His wounds fell onto the dark green earth and turned to stone. It is regarded as a gem of noble sacrifice and can offer courage and solace.

Because of this belief, African Bloodstone is often sought by those suffering from various cancers. I created this bracelet design to give courage to those who are suffering. A antique silver rectangle charm with a raised silver ribbon with the single word...HOPE...is attached. Each bracelet will be unique!

This bracelet is offered to you in both a 6mm bead and an 8mm bead size in various lengths to allow you to design your perfect fit. I use a 1mm width stretch cord to provide a strong stretch.

Your bracelet will come to you tucked in a silver gift box and tied with a ribbon, ready for gift giving or as a present to yourself.


Thank you for considering my shop for your purchase. Be well...Ann
