„Heliotrop” inseamna in limba greaca „cel ce se invarte dupa soare”. O legenda spune ca apa in care a stat un Heliotrop are puterea de a vindeca orice rana sau afectiune sanguina. Potrivit unei alte povesti stravechi, Heliotropul a fost la inceput un jasp verde peste care sangele lui Iisus a curs la rastignire (de unde si denumirea alternativa de "Piatra Sangelui").
Se crede ca daca puneti un Heliotrop intr-un vas de sticla in care adunati monede astfel incat lumina naturala sa cada pe ele, va atrage banii in casa si afacerea voastra.
