Bloodstone is a dark green form of quartz that will have flecks of red (caused by iron which may explain the connection to Ogoun).
Famous as a stone of healing for blood-related matters, bloodstone has also been used to increase strength and courage. Use it to help yourself accept change and the turmoil that comes along on your path of life.
Bloodstone can help renew and revitalize yourself and your relationships. It increases wisdom and on a purely spiritual level, it will help you achieve union with the divine and communicate with your ancestors.
Bloodstone has been used medicinally to purify the blood, kidneys and the liver. It has also been used for a multitude of blood disorders (including leukemia) and the elimination of toxins.
Bloodstone seems to work well with rhodonite, especially for increasing circulation.
