It strengthens blood purifying organs and improves blood circulation. Bloodstone has a positive influence on a bladder.

About us:
If you don't see what you want in our store, ask. I might have it sitting around. I have a ton of rock that I have yet to process, or what I listed is already sold!! Taking pictures and making listings is my biggest pain. I may also have more of what is listed. I don't put it all up at once. I prefer a variety. My slabs sell so fast that I constantly battle to get more listed. I'd rather be cutting! Mexican Crazy Lace Agate is a good example. I have 150 pounds, but I only put up a few slabs at a time. I don't like cutting the same thing all the time, and I like giving you a broader choice. Also, living in Arizona during the winter, I can get just about anything...during the winter!
I have been working with rocks for around 25 years. In fact, I just found a little flat lap that my Gramma gave me 40 years ago! I am no expert yet, but I have picked up quite a bit of knowledge. Although I can make some pretty nice cabochons, I now prefer just offering slabs. I also cut other people's rocks for $3 per cut. We spend the winter near Quartzsite, Arizona and the summer near Riverton, Wyoming. I have numerous saws in both locations. (10 at last count) I am retired from the US Air Force, and this keeps me busy. Adrienne makes jewelry. Sometimes I will make her a cabochon to use. It works out nicely!
