Bloodstone Jewelry
Bloodstone gemstones, green jasper dotted with bright red spots of iron oxide, was treasured in ancient times and for a long time was the birthstone for March. This attractive chalcedony quartz is also known as heliotrope because in ancient times polished stones were described as reflecting the sun. It is possible that the appearance of the gem reminded the ancients of the red setting sun, mirrored in the ocean.  Bloodstone
