There are two forms of bloodstone; the plasma and the heliotrope. Heliotrope is transparent and displays red within the stone. Plasma is deep green and opaque with little or no red in it. The transparent quartz is known as “heliotrope” (“sun turning” in Greek), because in ancient times, stones were described as reflecting the sun, which reminded the ancients of the red setting sun, mirrored in the ocean. Many people believed that when immersed in water, the stone could actually turn the sun red. Bloodstone is a variety of chalcedony, which is crypto crystalline quartz. When it is green, the color comes from chlorite particles, dotted with bright, distinctive red spots of iron oxide that resemble blood, hence its name.
