Collection: Seftonite

Healing, Selflessness, Protection

Geological Properties of Seftonite
Seftonite, often known as African Bloodstone, is a dark green variety of Chalcedony with striking red or brown flecks caused by iron oxide inclusions. It forms through the slow cooling of silica-rich volcanic activity, allowing microscopic crystals to align and form its smooth, almost waxy texture. Mined primarily in South Africa, Seftonite is valued for its dense, opaque body and earthy colouring, which reflect its deep connection to the mineral-rich soils where it formed. Its physical composition makes it a durable and grounding stone, long appreciated both for its beauty and for its historical uses in tools and carvings.

Magical Properties of Seftonite
Seftonite carries a steady, grounding energy that supports inner resilience and a sense of calm in the face of challenge. Often worked with for protection, it is said to create a shield against unwanted influences (energetic or emotional) helping you feel safe in your space and decisions. It encourages selflessness, aligning you with a sense of greater purpose or service, while offering gentle healing to the heart and spirit, especially in times of stress or fatigue. Its energy feels like a quiet strength—steady, anchored, and aligned with the natural world.
