Heliotrope (mineral)
The mineral aggregate heliotrope (), also known as bloodstone, is a cryptocrystalline mixture of quartz that occurs mostly as jasper (opaque) or sometimes as chalcedony (translucent). The "classic" bloodstone is opaque green jasper with red inclusions of hematite. The red inclusions may resemble spots of blood, hence the name ''bloodstone''. The name ''heliotrope'' derives from various ancient notions about the manner in which the mineral reflects light. Such notions are described, for example, by Pliny the Elder ( ''Nat. Hist.'' 37.165). Legends and superstitions Heliotrope was called "stone of Babylon" by Albertus Magnus and he referred to several magical properties, which were attributed to it from Late Antiquity. Pliny the Elder (1st century) mentioned first that the magicians used it as a stone of invisibility. Damigeron (4th century) wrote about its property to make rain, solar eclipse and its special virtue in divination and preserving health and youth. A Christian tradi ...
