Meaning

In healing crystal science, hematite is often used to discharge gemstones, as it is said to have the ability to erase stored (negative) information. Small tumbled stones are particularly suitable for this, and the stone to be discharged is placed in them overnight.

Alleged effect

Hematite is said to promote iron absorption in the small intestine and the formation of red blood cells, thus supporting the circulatory system. It is said to strengthen the will, have a revitalizing effect, and focus attention on our basic needs. In healing stone science, it is considered a "survival stone" that can also help us fight for our survival in an emergency.

Mineralogie & Entstehung

Hematite is an iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) that crystallizes in the trigonal system. It forms tabular, rhombohedral, or kidney-shaped crystals and also occurs as massive, metallically shiny "bloodstone." With an iron content of around 70%, it is the most important iron ore. Locations are worldwide: Brazil, Australia, India, Canada, Sweden, and the Lahn-Dill-Kreis in Germany.

Pflege & Reinigung

Hematite has a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.5. It should be protected from moisture as it can oxidize (rust). Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not soak in water! Sunlight is suitable for recharging. Hematite is NOT suitable for gemstone water.

Verwechslungsgefahren & Qualität

Hematite is sometimes confused with magnetite – however, magnetite is magnetic, while hematite is usually not. "Magnetic hematite" on the market is almost always synthetic ceramic material. Black obsidian can also shine similarly but is glassy and not metallic. Real hematite leaves a red streak when rubbed on unglazed ceramic.
