Hematite: is a metallic gray iron oxide mineral with a hardness
of about 6. Its name comes from the Greek word for blood, since when it
is cut, the coolant becomes red. Gem grade Hematite is found in Europe,
Brazil & the USA.
Mystic Lore:
Intuitive sources say that Hematite can assist in purification of the energies
of our physical and energetic circulatory systems. It is the the most widely
used stone for "grounding", and it is said to energize both the
root chakra at the base of the spine & the "Earth Star" below
the feet. |
