Bloodstone Gem

Bloodstones are semi-precious gems in Baldur's Gate, the Siege of Dragonspear and Shadows of Amn.
The higher value of this stone, compared to the ornamental ones, manifests itself through usually better secured places of storage and more occurrences in the richer region of Amn. Nevertheless, the bloodstone's only practical use still lies in its monetary value.

== Notes==
* As many other gems, the file for the bloodstone gem, MISC20.itm, has a magical item ability attached. This, however, has no effect and is not present in the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.
==Lore ==
*The ancient and enchanted short sword Ilbratha is set with six bloodstones.
*Bloodstones belong to the category of semi-precious stones, the second-least valuable stones to be found in the realms. They are one of the several variants of chalcedony, named by their color.
*"Bloodstone" is also part of the name of several spells that were introduced into the ruleset of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition, which Baldur's Gate is based on, by the supplementary Complete Book of Necromancers.
