{"product_id":"bloodstone-palm-stone-healing-protection","title":"Bloodstone Palm Stone Healing Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003eBloodstone doesn't try to be pretty in the conventional sense. It's dark, almost brooding, with those vivid red spots scattered through deep forest green like something ancient and alive. Pick one up and it has a weight to it, a density that feels intentional. This palm stone has been used for centuries by warriors, healers, and anyone who needed to stay grounded when things got hard. It still does that work today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=bloodstone\"\u003eBloodstone\u003c\/a\u003e (Heliotrope), a dark green jasper with natural red iron oxide inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Polished palm stone, smooth and satisfying to hold or press into the hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 50–60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakras: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/root-chakra-crystals\"\u003eRoot\u003c\/a\u003e (primary), \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/heart-chakra-crystals\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/a\u003e (secondary)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntentions: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/protection-crystals\"\u003eProtection\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/healing-crystals\"\u003eHealing\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grounding-stability-crystals\"\u003eGrounding and Stability\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/energy-vitality-crystals\"\u003eEnergy and Vitality\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful as a desk piece, meditation tool, or altar stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product is pulled at random, 50-60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuck it in your pocket, hold it during meditation, or keep it on your desk for days when you need to feel steady and protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChakra Connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBloodstone is one of the most grounding stones you can work with.
