WHAT AND WHERE IS BLOODSTONE
Also called heliotrope, Bloodstone is a deep green and white chalcedony with occasional red inclusions. The 'classic' Bloodstone is green jasper rock with spots of red throughout the stone. In the Middle Ages the red spots were thought to be the blood of Jesus, and it was believed to have miraculous powers, including making its wearer invisible. The primary source of Bloodstone is from India. It is also found in Brazil, China, Australia, Africa and the United States.
