Black stone appears to be just what its name indicates – a stone dyed black or ink colored, sometimes natural. While it mimics onyx, it is discernible from this since it lacks the luster of onyx. One author, writing about gemstones, speculated that black stone could be reconstituted black obsidian, black agate, black onyx or simply a black rock.
Due to this conundrum, it is impossible to narrow down its geographic location or suspected powers. Don’t you just love a mystery?
Black has traditionally been used for protection and to absorb negative energy.
Bloodstone is recognizable as a green chalcedony dotted with red jasper which may also be known as heliotrope. The name of bloodstone is derived from ancient legend stating that the stone developed when Christ’s blood fell and stained the stones at the base of his cross.

Bloodstone is found in Australia, Brazil, China, India and the U.S.A.
Bloodstone, suspected to be a magical stone, is purported to help one become more knowledgeable in the ways of the world.
Bronzite is a greenish-black to brown colored mineral displaying a bronze-like sheen when polished. It is part of the pyroxene group that has been weathered through moisture and temperature. It often displays inclusions, such as goethite and hematite, that are highly reflective.
Bronzite can be found in Austria, South Africa, Syria and the U.S.A.
The literature implies that bronzite will calm restlessness and promote principled behavior. It may also aid in the body’s assimilation of iron while also increasing acidity.
