• Bloodstone, sometimes called Blood Jasper in the trade, is not quite a jasper but rather a dark green Chalcedony which is a cryptochrystalline variety of Quartz, and which contains inclusions of red to brown. Although the color is not consistent, the red spots are caused by iron oxide and the green color is from chlorite particles or Hornblende needles. Bloodstone is primarily found and mined in India, Australia, United States, Germany, Scotland, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, and Russia. Chalcedony is the variety name given to fine cryptocrystalline Quartz, of which Bloodstone is one. In this variety, crystals are too small to be seen with the unaided eye or even with an ordinary microscope. Instead, the crystallinity is determined with the use of an electron microscope. Chalcedony occurs in almost any color or combination of colors. Varieties include Agate (colored bands), Moss Agate (milky-white background with dendritic green or brown inclusions), Carnelian (orange to reddish brown), Sard (light to dark brown), Chrysoprase (apple green), Tiger's Eye (banded yellow-brown), Flint or Chert (white, dull gray, or black), Jasper (opaque red), and of course Bloodstone or Heliotrope (green with red flecks).
