Bloodstone
is the mineral heliotrope and is a form of chalcedony. The "classic"
bloodstone is green jasper with red inclusions. Sometimes
other colors are also present, but these multi-colored gemstones are
referred to as "fancy jasper". The primary source of the stone is India. It
is also found in Brazil, China, Australia, and the United States. In the
Middle Ages the red spots were said to be the blood of Jesus, and the stone
was believed to have miraculous powers.
