Purchased recently from a private individual who inherited her mothers jewelry. She had some most amazing beautiful pieces, she said her mother was originally from Europe, quite a traveler and left her jewelry collection to her daughter. 14K yellow gold stickpin with a truly rare beautiful genuine Bloodstone, our Old Jewelry book describes blood stone "as worn and admired by Victorians, this ancient stone also known as heliotrope, is actually a dark green chalcedony with flecks of red. The ancients believed the red to be drops of blood - hence the name bloodstone. Many magical powers were ascribed to it including the power to stop bleeding and preserve health. Even though it is one of the birthstones for March, it is seldom used today. When a piece of jewelry contains bloodstone, it is usually old." A spectacular rare piece!
