Hematite is an iron oxide mineral, recognised for its steel-grey or black colour. Its name comes from the Greek word haima, meaning "blood," as the stone turns red when ground to powder.

In ancient civilisations, hematite was prized as a protective amulet. Roman soldiers carried it into battle for courage and protection.

Today, hematite is a much-loved grounding stone. Thanks to its connection with the root chakra, it is the ideal stone for those times when you want to stay firmly rooted and hold onto your inner peace even amid the chaos of everyday life.
