Bloodstone (Heliotrope) Tumbled Stone

Small red flecks against dark green are more useful than a promise of a fixed red pattern.

Material and appearance

Bloodstone, heliotrope chalcedony-rich rock. The intended visual is dark green opaque chalcedony with small natural red flecks. A rounded organic outline and a polished surface are the design, rather than a calibrated bead, cabochon or faceted gemstone. Pattern, translucency and shape can vary between pieces.

Identity and treatment

The candidate name Indian Bloodstone describes a trade category; no Indian mining origin is asserted. The material identity and treatment statement should refer to the supplied batch. A representative image does not identify a specimen, verify an origin or establish an untreated condition.

Configuration and selection

The described configuration is one tumble-polished specimen. Compare packs or larger pieces only where the final offer lists those choices explicitly. Shape is irregular rather than calibrated. The design uses a proposed 20–30 mm length band; actual dimensions and net weight belong in the confirmed product specifications. No mining origin or laboratory certification is asserted without item-specific evidence.

Care and handling

Keep separate from abrasive grit and wipe gently after display. Keep the pebble in its own soft pocket during transport. Keep small stones away from children and pets. Use as a decorative or study specimen; do not put minerals in food or drinking water or perform destructive home tests.
