A somewhat interesting little specimen of natural Bloodstone which is noticeably devoid of red spots. Bloodstone’s level of ‘blood’ (iron oxide) inclusions can vary tremendously. Some may exhibit little to no spotting, while others are densely spotted. This particular example has a nice green base colour without any red spots, but with clear grey silica banding and some crystallised Quartz plus groups of tiny Quartz crystals in several areas.
