These are the semi-precious Bloodstone smooth, carved and shaped beads or components we currently have in stock.

Bloodstone (sometimes also called Heliotrope) is an opaque or vitreous green stone with red/yellow spots. The stone is not jasper, but a dark green Chalcedony (cryptochrystalline quartz) with inclusions of red to brown. The luster of this stone can be anywhere from vitreous to waxy. The name Bloodstone comes from Christian's belief that the stone was created/symbolizes drops of Christ's blood falling on it. There are many sources for bloodstone worldwide.
