Bloodstone Gemstone meaning
Bloodstone (also called heliotrope) is green with distinctive red spots that resemble blood, giving this stone its name. The bloodstone was used to stop bleeding especially nosebleeds. There is a legend that says the bloodstone was formed from the blood of Christ dripping on the green earth and solidifying. It was also called heliotrope by the Greeks and was thought to bring change. The bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against the evil eye. Bloodstone is the symbol of justice.
Healing properties of bloodstone
The bloodstone is used for circulation of all energy in the body and helps to remove energy blocks. Bloodstone is used in the alignment of all the centers of the body. A healer must do this alignment while the patient lies on his stomach. It also aids in the circulation of blood. It is good to have several pieces of Bloodstone in the home to increase the flow of life energy.

Metaphysical Properties
Bloodstone is a hero's stone. It can instill courage in dangerous situations (like everyday life) and protects us from our own dangerous desires. In addition to instilling courage, bloodstone is an intense healing stone, balancing the base, navel, sacral, and heart chakras. Bloodstone helps one see the benefit and patterns of change, and to recognize the benefit of turmoil prior to perfection. One must sometimes break down a pattern of behavior before it can be rebuilt in a healthier way. The primary message of bloodstone is "Be Here Now!" It can revitalize love, relationships, and friendships. Helps to let go of selfish behavior, and renews idealistic outlook on life. Also enhances ones natural abilities, talent, and creativity. Medieval Christians often used bloodstone to carve scenes of the crucifixion and martyrs, leading it to also be dubbed martyr's stone. The legend of the origin of bloodstone says that it was first formed when some drops of Christ's blood fell and stained some jasper at the foot of the cross.
Physical Healing Properties of Bloodstone:
Purifies blood and detoxes liver, kidneys and spleen. Regulates blood flow, and benefits all blood rich organs in lower body.

[edit] Birthstones
A birthstone is a gift of a precious material (jewelry, mainly gemstones; themselves traditionally associated with various qualities) that symbolizes the month of birth (in the Gregorian Calendar).
It is sometimes also called birthday stone (cf. infra; but that word is, confusingly, sometimes used as a synonym for an anniversary gift, which is related to the recipient's age, that is, year of birth).
There have been many different sets of birthstones used throughout history and in different cultures. In 1912, in an effort to standardize them, the American national association of jewelers, Jewelers of America, officially adopted the following list; it is currently the most widely used list in the United States and many other locations, including Australia and Thailand. Some alternates have been adopted to be a less expensive substitute for a cut stone.
Month Traditional Birthstone[2] Modern Birthstone[3]
January garnet garnet
February amethyst amethyst
March bloodstone, jasper aquamarine
April diamond, sapphire diamond
May emerald, agate emerald
June alexandrite, emerald moonstone, pearl
July ruby, onyx ruby
August sardonyx, carnelian peridot
September sapphire, peridot sapphire
October tourmaline, pearl opal, rose zircon
November citrine, topaz topaz, citrine
December zircon, ruby turquoise, blue topaz
Tanzanite was added to December by the American Gem Trade Association in 2002. Most organizations do not recognize tanzanite as a December birthstone, however, and the AGTA's move to make it a December birthstone has generally been viewed as a marketing ploy.
The birthstone seems to originate from Biblical times. The Breastplate of Aaron, referred to in Exodus 39:10-14:
10 Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there was a ruby, a topaz and a beryl;
11 in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald;
12 in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;
13 in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings.
14 There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
The precise list of birthstones however can be found in Revelation 21:19-20[citation needed] where the foundation stones of the new Jerusalem are listed, in the order of the Roman calendar:
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
[edit] Birth flowers
Month Flower
January Carnation, Snowdrop
February Violet
March Daffodil (Jonquil)
April Daisy, Sweet Pea
May Sunflower, Lily of the Valley
June Rose, Honeysuckle
July Larkspur
August Lily, Gladiolus
September Forget-me-not, Morning Glory
October Calendula (Marigold), Camellia
November Chrysanthemum
December Holly, Narcissus
Just as there are alternatives with birthstones, there are also alternatives with birth flowers. For example, October is often listed as Calendula (Marigold) , but is also occasional noted as being rose or camellia.
[edit] Technical issues
A person's birthday is usually recorded according to the time zone of the place of birth. Thus people born in Samoa at 11:30 PM will record their birthdate as one day before UTC and those born in the Line Islands will record their birthdate one day after UTC. They will apparently be born two days apart, while some of the apparently older ones may be younger in hours. Those who live in different time zones from their birth often exclusively celebrate their birthdays at the local time zone. In addition, the intervention of Daylight Saving Time can result in a case where a baby born second being recorded as having been born up to an hour before their predecessor[4] (but the time the clock is changed back is such that the second of twins does not have an earlier birthday).
[edit] Birthday stones
While this word has also been used as synonym of Birth stone (see above), there is a separate list of assignment according to the day of the week of the recipient's birth:
Monday : Pearl (the only organic gem)
Tuesday : Garnet
Wednesday : Cat's eye (Chatoyant Chrysoberyl)
Thursday : Emerald
Friday : Topaz
Saturday : Sapphire
Sunday : Ruby
