Blood and Sand Gems not leveling correctly

I just noted on my character my Blood and Sand gem is only level 5 while all my other gems are ~level 19. They all have been on the character since roughly the beginning. Put a new one in the same slot.. a few red/yellow maps later and just turned level 3. This right???

Thanks for your report!

This is not a bug, the maximum level for Blood and Sand is level 6. It is nearing the end of the leveling process, just like your other level 19 skill gems. :)
By any chance why Flesh and Stone max lvl had changed from 6 to 20

But Blood and Sand still max at 6????

Well, the More effects of B&S start at 10% each at level 1, scaling up to 15% at level 6. They could squeeze out five more levels by having the increases alternate, but to get a full 20 levels they'd either have to raise the high end of the modifiers, lower the low end, or have "empty" levels where the gem gains no power.
Thanks for the feedback. Before I posted this as a bug, I checked the Path of Exile Wiki. The Wiki showed a 20-level type gem. I was confused so that is why I posted.

Thanks for the information.
