Bloodstone is a type of chalcedony (a variety of quartz) of varying shades of green also known as heliotrope and is said to have magical and healing properties. This name comes from the Greek helio (sun) and trepein (turning). Iron minerals cause the characteristic red and brown spots, which are said to resemble blood drops. This is from the early 1800s and is from Scotland and is quite rare because you can hardly ever find this stone in pieces from that period anymore. The stones are carnelian and bloodstones ( two of carnelian and three including the center stone of the bloodstone). They are set in a very fancy setting that measures ¾" wide. The back is very primitive in the metal smith department too. This is 2 ¾" long and is very very old and not a new piece.
