Pure bloodstone pendants bring the deep green and red-flecked character of this ancient stone to your jewelry collection. Bloodstone, a variety of chalcedony with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, forms when iron oxide deposits create its signature red spots against dark green jasper. Our collection of 28,523 pendants features natural bloodstone set in .925 sterling silver, with prices ranging from $16 to $11,402. Each stone comes from deposits in India, Brazil, and Australia, where geological conditions produce the mineral's distinctive patterning.

Iron oxide deposits, primarily hematite, create the red to orange spots that appear against bloodstone's dark green chalcedony base. The spots form during the stone's geological development when iron-rich fluids enter the silica matrix.
Bloodstone rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it resistant to scratches from common materials. This hardness level suits pendant wear well, though storing separately from harder gemstones helps prevent surface marks.
Major bloodstone deposits exist in India, Brazil, Australia, and parts of the United States. Indian bloodstone, particularly from the Deccan region, has been mined for centuries and remains a primary source for jewelry-grade material.
