African Bloodstone Point

African Bloodstone is a type of jasper that gets its distinctive coloring from the presence of iron oxide. It's found worldwide, but some of the finest examples come from South Africa and Madagascar. This beautiful deep green stone has been used for everything from carved figurines to regal jewelry for centuries. It was even once believed to have special powers!

One legend says that African Bloodstone is the shattered remains of the plummeting Holy Grail. Another claims that the stone formed from the drops of Christ's blood that fell to the ground during his crucifixion. While these stories are almost certainly fictional, they attest that African bloodstone has been prized for centuries for its beauty and purported magical properties.
