Heliotrope

Heliotrope Meaning

The heliotrope stone is a green quartz that can have spots in all kinds of colors. The best known variant is green with red spots. The mineral is closely related to the Red Jasper and Chalcedony.

Another name for this gemstone is Bloodstone or Blood Jasper, because the red spots can remind you of blood spatter. The name of this crystal comes from the Greek words helios (sun) and tropein (turn). One explanation for this is that the stone reflects the colors of the setting sun in the sea.

Heliotrope Stone Effect

This crystal is said to be the stone of balance and harmony. Carrying a Heliotrope crystal with you would encourage patience and compassion with yourself and with your fellow man. The stone is said to bring good luck and unite opposites. It could be both activating (because of its red color) and calming (because of its green color). In addition, the crystal could help you make choices and could push you to continue on once the choice has been made. It could also help you set boundaries and keep out negative influences.

Heliotrope for All Chakras

The stone mainly belongs to the root chakra and the heart chakra. Wearing a piece of jewelry, such as this Heliotrope Pendant, could have an effect on the aura and it could then be cleansed. In addition, the stone could strengthen and harmonize the functioning of the lower three chakras with associated organs, such as stomach, liver and kidneys.
