About Bloodstone –
Bloodstone is dark green chalcedony speckled with spots of red iron oxide, a dramatic pairing that has made it a favourite since antiquity. Polished pieces glow like a forest floor dotted with red berries.
It forms when silica-rich fluids fill cracks and cavities in volcanic rocks, with green chlorite or similar minerals colouring the body and hematite forming the red spots.
