Question 1

Why is hematite so heavy?

Accepted Answer

Hematite (iron oxide, Fe₂O₃) is a mineral of extraordinary density: its density is approx. 5.26 g/cm³, compared to quartz at 2.65 g/cm³. This means that the same size hematite is about twice as heavy as a piece of quartz of the same size.

Question 2

Why is hematite called &bdquo;bloodstone&rdquo; if its color is greyish?

Accepted Answer

The name hematite comes from the Greek word for „blood”, because the mineral produces a red-brown powder when finely ground. Its polished, buffed surface does appear grey-black, but the mineral powder invisible to the naked eye is characteristically red.

Question 3

What is the size of the stone and what does the package contain?

Accepted Answer

The package contains 1 large hematite palm stone weighing approx. 540 g. This is one of the heaviest palm stone varieties, with a solid, massive appearance. As this is a natural stone, the exact size and weight may vary slightly.
