Heliotrope, also known as bloodstone, is a microcrystalline variety of chalcedony composed mainly of silicon dioxide with iron oxides and chlorite. This material represents a transition between opaque jasper and more translucent chalcedony, and is recognised by its scattered blood-red inclusions of haematite over a greenish-grey base. Some pieces may display golden spots, possibly due to metallic inclusions such as pyrite.
