    Very attractive
    personal
    seal which had
    a double
    use as signet seal
    or as stamp
    ink seal. This

    are extremely rare.
    Beside of
    that the
    green blood
    stone worldwide

    considering
    as one
    of
    the most interesting semi

    legends. G
    reen blood
    stone
    (Heliotrope) is a green

    that in such case, the
    most
    valuable at
    this
    seal is not of course
    the silver part,
