1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
Bloodstone (also called heliotrope) is a form of chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz) with a deep green base dotted with red iron-oxide spots that resemble drops of blood.
'African bloodstone' refers to bloodstone from Africa. Main deposits include South Africa, India (historically the most celebrated source of fine material), Brazil, Australia and Madagascar.
With a Mohs hardness of about 6.5-7, it is dense and takes a fine polish, making it suitable for beads, carvings and beads.
Unlike some natural bloodstone, 'African bloodstone' is distinctive for its more pronounced red spotting.

2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Bloodstone has an extremely long history of use: the ancient Egyptians used it to treat tumors and blood-related ailments.
The ancient Babylonians and Greeks (who called it heliotrope, 'the sun-turner') used it for divination and protection.
In medieval Christian tradition, bloodstone was associated with the blood of Christ, symbolizing sacrifice and courage; warriors wore it to staunch bleeding and strengthen bravery.
It has long been regarded as the 'warrior's stone,' used to strengthen fighting strength and protection.
