Hematite

Hematite is a mineral usually appearing as metallic gray with a metallic luster; it may even look more like a metal than a mineral when encountered in nature.

The name Hematite originates from the Greek word for blood, haima, which refers to the dark red color of the mineral�s streak. When crushed, Hematite will turn water red.

Hematite is said to bring about a calm mental state, improve memory, mental focus and concentration, bolster self-confidence, and increase the effectiveness of logical processes of the brain.

Our Hematite cabochons are made from natural hematite found in nature. We do not use imitation cabochons such as “hemalyke” or “hemalite,” which are typically composed of low-grade iron. You can be assured that our Hematite products are of the highest quality available.
