Sideways Dragon Bloodstone Pendant

Dragon bloodstone is a captivating gem known for its striking green and red hues, reminiscent of mythical dragons. This stone is a type of jasper, a variety of chalcedony, and is cherished for its unique appearance and mystical associations. Historically, dragon bloodstone has been revered in various cultures for its supposed protective and healing properties. It is said to have been used by ancient warriors as a talisman for courage and vitality. The stone's origins can be traced to Western Australia, where it is predominantly found. Additionally, smaller deposits have been discovered in parts of South Africa. Dragon bloodstone is often used in jewellery and ornamentation, appreciated for both its beauty and the legends that surround it.

I really love this sideways look. I think it makes those big stones look less intimidating, and also make them easier for someone to wear. I love it! Plus it lets me put lots of ornamentation around the stone without overwhelming them. Somehow sideways makes them look so much better than vertical! Dragon bloodstone is one of my favorite stones to work with. Partly because I am a sucker for anything dragon, but also because I think red and green usually look like christmas colors but somehow in this stone they just don't!
