Heliotrope from India attracts the interest of real experts on gemstones. This stone from Morvi mines in Rajkot, India, is a variety of green chalcedony. It has marvellous red dots, which are a result of hematite admixture with other ferric compounds. Pieces without the red dots are sorted out and considered as jaspers.
