JASPE SANGUIN – HIS HISTORY

Blood Jasper stone, also called Heliotrope Jasper or Blood Stone, is a variety of jasper considered the most beautiful. Its color ranges from black to dark green, embellished with red, yellow or white dots. It has been known since Antiquity and used for a variety of purposes. In ancient Egypt, it was used as an amulet to increase warriors’ strength and protect against witchcraft, while the Babylonians used it to invoke rain and control the winds. Pliny the Elder explains that the stone was so named because, when placed in a vase of water, it gives blood-colored flashes to the yellow sunlight reflected from it. The Greeks believed that the stone would restore peace between water and the Earth gods, and that its wearer would live a long and prosperous life. Medieval legend has it that the stone came from the blood of Jesus, mixed with the earth at the foot of the cross. In those days, it was used to stop bleeding, reduce swelling and draw out venom from snakebites. Today, it is still highly appreciated and used in lithotherapy for its multiple benefits.

BLOODY JASPE STONE – ITS ORIGIN AND COMPOSITION

Blood Jasper is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral composed of silica. This stone is rich in chlorite, which gives it its green color, as well as hematite, an iron oxide, responsible for its red spots. Heliotrope deposits can be found all over the world, and each provides stones of unique quality. The most important are located on the island of Madagascar and in Brazil, but they are also found in India, Australia, China and the USA.
