There is something quietly grounding about a hematite in its raw, uncut form, ready to be held and lived with. The raw piece keeps the stone's natural edges, fracture surfaces and original look — just as it formed in nature.
About hematite
Hematite is an iron-oxide mineral with a metallic, silver-grey lustre and a surprising heft. Polished, it shines like a mirror, though its streak is red; Mohs hardness 5.5–6.5. It typically measures kb. 3–6 cm.
Hematite in tradition
Tradition knows it as a stone of grounding and protection; many link it to stability and focus. These meanings belong to crystal lore rather than medical fact — the stone's beauty and presence are a value in themselves.
Living with it
Its cool metallic sheen and weight feel reassuring in the hand; keep it from prolonged moisture to protect the surface. It also makes a good companion for meditation or quiet moments, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural beauty of minerals.
Good to know
As a natural mineral, every piece is unique: colour, size and pattern may differ slightly from the photo. Wipe clean with a soft cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
