Heliotrope, also known as bloodstone, is a cryptocrystalline mixture of quartz that occurs mostly as jasper or sometimes as chalcedony. The “classic” bloodstone is opaque green jasper with red inclusions of hematite. The stone color ranges from green to dark green with reddish embeddings. Heliotrope was called “stone of Babylon” by Albertus Magnus[1193-1280], he referred to several magical properties, which were attributed to it from Late Antiquity. He used the power of the stone to bring down fever.

Today heliotrope acts as a protective stone. The stone provides the feeling of being in a protective circle. It wards off external energies and encourages the bearer of the stone to remain within themselves, to be genuine, and to isolate themselves if required. In the case of fury or aggression, heliotrope has a soothing effect. The stone provides you with patience and helps you sleep on some decisions.

Heliotrope provides an outstanding aid to all coughs and sneezes. The best bet is to get the stone and wear it close to your body at the firs sign of a cold. It also facilitates fasting as it has a detoxifying effect. It fends of spiritual and emotional assults. Keywords: protective, detoxifying, boundaries, patience.
