Colorless, or clear beryl, called Goshenite, has been used for thousands of years for crystal divination spheres (crystal balls). Beryl is associated with the sea and is another stone to provide protection while traveling over water.

Stone: Bloodstone
Color: Medium to dark green with red/orange spots/bands
Associated Element: Fire
Energy: Projective
Magickal Powers/Uses: The bloodstone has ancient associations with blood and healing and has a wide variety of uses. It is also called heliotrope and is a type of jasper. It is used to heal and avoid wounds, ensure success, attract money, and protect pregnant women. It also can be used to produce "invisibility" or "cloaking" when in a place or involved in a situation where one does not wish to attract attention to oneself. Bloodstone ensures justice and fairness in court and legal affairs. It also fosters creativity, development of talent, idealism, and good fortune. Magickal lore states that when a bloodstone's energy is depleted, the red spots will turn to white, and the stone should be returned to the earth.
