Bloodstone was treasured not only as a talisman of good health and long life but was reputed to bring its owner respect, good fortune, riches, and fame. It protected one from deception, helped overcome enemies in battle, and secured victory in court and legal matters. It was also believed to have magical properties with the ability to control the weather by averting lightning, conjuring storms, or summoning rain.
 
Bloodstone conferred the gift of prophecy as an "audible oracle" that gave off sounds as a means of guidance or to warn of danger and could direct spiritual energies to banish negativity and evil.
