What is Bloodstone tumbled?

Bloodstone tumbled is a green stone with red spots and markings. Mostly associated with men's jewelry, it is sometimes carved into bowls, wands, small sculptures, and occasionally cut into large faceted stones, though the first-class stones are used for cabochons. It is mined primarily in India, but significant sources are located in Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, USA, and China.
