Treatment: Bloodstone is generally not treated. The red and green colors are stable and natural. Lower-quality stones may be dyed to intensify the green base or the red spots, and such material should be disclosed. It is also commonly stabilized with resin for carving.
Body (Clarity/Transparency): Opaque. It has no transparency. The “body” is defined by its even, deep green plasma base and the contrast, size, and distribution of its red “blood” spots. It has no cleavage, a brittle tenacity, and a vitreous to waxy luster when polished.
