Bloodstone
The mineral heliotrope, also known as bloodstone, is a form of chalcedony - mixture of quartz and its moganite. The classic bloodstone is green chalcedony with red inclusions of iron oxide or red jasper. Sometimes the inclusions are yellow, in which case the mineral is given the name plasma. The red inclusions are supposed to resemble spots of blood. The name heliotrope from Greek helios, Sun, trepein, to turn, derives from various ancient notions about the manner in which the mineral reflects light.
