Heliotrope is a mineral aggregate that is also known as bloodstone and is a mixture of quartz that occurs mostly as opaque jasper or as translucent chalcedony.
When specifically referred to as heliotrope, this gem is described as being named for its bright pinkish-undertones and purple hues reminiscent of heliotrope flowers. This a is transparent gem of exceptional clarity. It is most frequently cut with intricate facets along its edges, causing the outer rim of the stone to display a luminosity so great as to seem to glow from within. This is, however, not any actual light generating effect, but merely a property of the stone's incredibly reflective nature.
Rarely found growing in or around veins of other minerals, gem-quality heliotrope is most commonly found within the mines of the Turmar noble family of Zoluren, with all of the best specimens coming exclusively from this area.
Introduced at Hollow Eve 410.
