It is mineralogically similar to classic Bloodstone, or Heliotrope, but comes from South African rather than Indian deposits, and the South African material generally shows a deeper, more saturated green with more vivid spotting than the Indian stone. The name Seftonite is used in the trade specifically to mark that origin distinction, and the two are kept as separate materials rather than treated as interchangeable. No treatment or dye is involved; both colours are natural mineral inclusions within the silica. Bloodstone holds one of the most consistent metaphysical records of any green stone, used across ancient Babylonia, Egypt and Rome and extensively in medieval Christian tradition.
