About Seftonite

Seftonite, also commonly known as 'African bloodstone' and less so as 'heliotrope', is a variety of chalcedony usually found as dark, moss green or grey semi-translucent masses with inclusions of blood red jasper, hence its common trade name, and may also include pyrite flecks. It is prized as an ornamental gemstone and for use in jewellery for its dramatic, contrasting colours and brecciated patterns.
