Is blood from a person suffering Stigmata holy?

I saw someone selling small pieces of blood stained clothing in a pendant purported to be from a Stigmatic on ebay.

Of course its probably not real, but my question is IF it was real would it be holy blood or normal blood?
 
I would assume not. The wounds in a true stigmatic may be as they represent the wounds of Christ but the blood shed is the blood of the person as far as I know.
 
If it was an authentic stigmata (i.e. a miracle from God as a sign of holiness, then it would presumably be a first class relic of a saint. If it was a false stigmata, something from evil, or some unknown natural phenomenon, then obviously not.
