# Profile

## Lore

Bloodstone is a newly recruited jewelia under the Embryon team lead by Turquoise. Despite her quality as a jewelia, her rank is low since she's a new recruit.

## Personality

Bloodstone is tomboyish and hot-blooded to a fault, eager to sink her blade into a Zolne on the first opportunity she gets. Yellow Calcite notes that Bloodstone behaves like a man trapped in a woman's body, one who would rather be active outside doing the battling and wars than staying inside "doing girl things".

Unfortunately for her event story, she has to disguise as a human lady attending a party hosted on a rich mansion to lure out a particular Zolne that's tormenting the region, much to her chagrin. Even with praises coming from Lepidolite and Aqua Aura, she still absolutely despises her outfit, and readily removes the disguise once the bait was successful.

Bloodstone has a soft spot for cute things, but she believes that clashes with the manliness she wants to portray. It's a well-known secret as she hides that rather poorly and will not admit it when pointed out.

# Mineralogy

*In the ancient world, Bloodstone (Heliotrope) was considered to be the most beautiful of the Jaspers, a deep, earthy green gem emboldened with spots of bright red. Bloodstone represents dedication, clarity, child love, and bravery.*

The mineral aggregate heliotrope (from Greek ἥλιος, hḗlios “Sun”, τρέπειν, trépein “to turn”), also known as bloodstone, is a cryptocrystalline mixture of quartz that occurs mostly as jasper (opaque) or sometimes as chalcedony (translucent). The "classic" bloodstone is opaque green jasper with red inclusions of hematite.

The red inclusions are supposed to resemble spots of blood, hence the name bloodstone. The name heliotrope derives from various ancient notions about the manner in which the mineral reflects light.

Heliotrope was called "stone of Babylon" by Albertus Magnus and he referred to several magical properties, which were attributed to it from Late Antiquity. Pliny the Elder (1st century) mentioned first that the magicians used it as a stone of invisibility. Damigeron (4th century) wrote about its property to make rain, solar eclipse and its special virtue in divination and preserving health and youth.

A Christian tradition states that the red spots come from blood falling upon the stone during the crucifixion of Jesus, as he was stabbed in the side by a Roman soldier. Ancient Roman soldiers believed that the stone had the ability to slow bleeding and wore it for this reason.

In India holds that one can staunch the bleeding by placing upon wounds and injuries after dipping it in cold water, which may have a scientific basis in the fact that iron oxide, contained in the stone, is an effective astringent. The Gnostics wore the stone as an amulet for longevity, for wealth and courage, to strengthen the stomach, and to dispel melancholy. In the Middle Ages it was considered useful for animal husbandry.

The ancient Greeks and Romans wore the stone to bring renown and favor, to bring endurance, and as a charm against the bite of venomous creatures. Greek and Roman athletes favored it as talisman for success in their games.
