Collection: BLOODSTONE

Bloodstone, also known as heliotrope in traditional gemology, is a type of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz, that is part of the chalcedony group. Bloodstone has given us a popular color combination since ancient times, with a green body color accented by red inclusions. It was used in amulets and carved intaglios during the Middle Ages, and was linked to courage and healing. Today, you can find bloodstone cabochons, faceted gems, or even bloodstone crystals for sale in various markets.

As with larger green-and-red dyed or man-made stones, natural bloodstone is favored due to its unique depth and natural design. Bloodstone's important sources include India (the major source today), Brazil, Australia, Madagascar, China, and the United States.
