Hematite Crystals
While Hematite can be found in various colors, ranging from black to silver, the red variety of this precious mineral is the most recognizable. This bright red color is indicative of incredibly high iron content. However, this pigment screamed blood for ancient Greeks, so they named the stone “Haima,” which is the Greek word for blood.
Although its name is derived from the Greek language, Hematite was adored by many people worldwide. For instance, Native Americans used it to paint their faces before a battle, Egyptians to decorate the tombs of pharaohs, and even prehistoric people to etch inside caves.
Throughout history, Hematite crystals have been known for their strong connection to the Earth, mighty healing powers, and the powers of protection beyond comparison. Hematite has always acted as an anchor to help people feel stable, grounded, and protected, and this still rings true today.
