A puffy heart carved from bloodstone. Deep green with the red flecks that give the stone its name, warm in the hand, weighted enough to feel like something.
Bloodstone has a reputation for endurance. It's the piece people pick up when they've been running on fumes, when they need to keep going but want to do it without white-knuckling. Hold it during long stretches of caregiving. Keep it near the bed when sleep has been thin. Put it in a pocket on days that ask a lot of you.
Heart shape makes it easy to carry and easy to give. Some people pass one to a friend who is grieving without saying much about why.
Green chalcedony with red iron oxide inclusions. Each piece varies in the ratio of green to red, and the exact pattern is unique to the stone.
You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you.
