African Bloodstone is also known as Heliotrope, which is a form of Chalcedony with Red Jasper inclusions. This particular stone is powerful for grounding and protection, and is believed to help purify the blood and promote well-being. These are available only in 8mm size beads currently.
African Bloodstone is primarily found in South Africa and Madagascar. It is generally opaque to translucent gray hues with red and dark green inclusions. The "African" in the name refers to the location of the crystal's origin.
