Bloodstone is green jasper dotted with bright red specks of iron oxide or rust. This gemstone is also called heliotrope, and was treasured in ancient times.

Legend states that at the Crucifixion, the blood of Christ dripped onto and then stained some green jasper, forming the first bloodstone.

Bloodstone will dull and wear away upon contact with water. Avoid scratches, sharp blows, and contact with harsh chemicals.
