About the heliotrope – bloodstone
\n
According to legend, the bloodstone appeared when drops of Christ's blood fell from the Cross onto a green jasper stone at its base. Many medieval Christian artists used this stone to carve scenes of martyrdom and crucifixion.
\n
The name heliotrope refers to ancient times when polished stones were considered reflections of the Sun; the appearance of the stone may remind one of a red sunset reflecting on a dark green ocean (heliotrope – tropical sun). Today, in India, this stone (ground into powder) is used as an ingredient in medicine or as an aphrodisiac. The heliotrope is an earth and protection stone that promotes love and understanding between people, strengthening friendships. The bloodstone also aids in peaceful sleep.
