An African bloodstone guide for courage and strength.

Faceted bloodstone on a silver chain.
Handcrafted to bring out the character of the stone, this faceted point of deep green African bloodstone, flecked with red, hangs from a fine silver chain with a small bead at the other end to hold between your fingers. As much a work of art as a tool, it arrives with its own velvet pouch.
Crystal point
Approx. 1.5 in (3.8 cm) long
Chain
Approx. 8 in (20.3 cm) silver chain with the crystal
Includes
1 African bloodstone crystal pendulum and 1 velvet pouch
Sizes are approximate; each one-of-a-kind pendulum varies slightly with the crystal.
Holding it
Either hand, whichever feels like yours.
Pin the holding bead between your fingers and let the point hang freely. Your dominant hand gives greater control; your non-dominant hand is said to keep you more open to the pendulum’s energy. Try both and keep the one that feels natural.
First reading
Learn its yes and its no.
Cleanse
Hold it under cold running water for about thirty seconds while picturing stale energy washing away, rest it in sunlight or moonlight to recharge, or pass it through sage or palo santo smoke.
Calibrate
Sit quietly and let it hang by the chain. Ask a question you know is yes, such as “Is my name [your name]?”, and watch how it moves. Then ask one you know is no.
Test
Ask “Show me yes” and “Show me no.” A smooth, consistent swing in a circle, back and forth or on a diagonal is a sign the pendulum is a match for you, and you’ll read it more easily over time.
Practitioners recommend cleansing before first use and regularly after, to keep its energy clear and its answers accurate.
A stone of courage, vitality and protection.
Crystal pendulums are prized for energy work and spiritual clarity, and many enthusiasts use them for guidance, divination and connection to higher energies, for personal growth, meditation and decision-making. In crystal tradition, African bloodstone stands for courage, vitality and protection, a choice for building strength and overcoming challenges.
