See how we make them

An african realistic skull cut from a single block of blood stone, 3 inches, 327 g.

Bloodstone is dark green chalcedony carrying spots of red jasper — iron oxide concentrated into flecks rather than dispersed. The old name heliotrope predates the bloodstone one by many centuries.

The skull is the hardest test of a carver's eye, because everyone already knows what it should look like. The passages that take the longest are the ones you notice least: the transition from temple to cheekbone, and the way the teeth meet.

Ships worldwide. This piece is held at our workshop and ships internationally.

  • One of a kind

    Every carving is cut from its own block of rough. The photographs on this page show the exact piece you will receive — not a sample from the same batch.

  • Natural stone, untreated

    100% natural stone, never dyed or reconstituted. Veins, inclusions and small shifts in colour are how the material formed; they are marks of origin rather than faults.

  • Carved by hand

    Cut, shaped and polished by hand. Proportions differ a little from piece to piece because each one follows the block it came out of.

  • Checked and packed

    Hand-inspected before dispatch and shipped in shockproof packaging.
