| | Bloodstone |
 | | 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. |
 | | Bloodstone is primarily found and mined in India, Australia, United States, Germany, Scotland, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, and Russia. |
 | | Engraved Bloodstone was used by the Babylonians in divination, and both they and the ancient Egyptians used it to magickally defeat enemies, usually by employing the stone's abilities to increase personal strength and yet make one "invisible" when they wanted attention focused strategically elsewhere. |
