Resemblance to Aleppo stone, an agate used to ward off the Aleppo boil that left a red circle with interior pus. Sold by the Hudson Bay Company. Earliest Use: at least 1893 (see Ninni and Segatti 1991: 76). Established trade term by 1879 (Haldeman 1879: 269; therein Coralline d'Aleppo). Unknown Origin: Venetian from ca. 1830; also Czech and French. Distinctive Trait: Both wound and drawn; several varieties. Distribution: Global. Remarks: I prefer white heart because of yellow and green heart. Cornaline d'Aleppo is also acceptable. The HBC traded many beads.
