Description
Seftonite
A cryptocrystalline mixture of Quartz – green/grey with red blobs.
Seftonite (also known as African Bloodstone or Vulcan Jasper) is a Heliotrope stone that occurs in massive formations, where dark Green Chalcedony is flecked with Haematite and Red Jasper inclusions. It is believed that the first specimen was first formed when the blood of Christ fell to the foot of the cross, staining the Jasper around the site and changing it into Bloodstone.
Bloodstone was highly prized in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, as it was thought to possess powerful endurance boosting qualities that proved handy when competing in Athletic activities.
As its name strongly suggests, it is associated with the Venous System within the body, strengthening the heart and bone marrow by balancing Iron deficiencies.
