Hematite

Hematite is said to be closely tied to the blood, probably due to its iron content. It is said to aid the kidney's blood cleansing function, speed tissue regeneration, and contribute to the overall better health of the blood. This can, in turn, help with the overall health and energy levels of your entire body.

Hematite is a protective stone. It's energies are grounding, and can help you to connect with the Earth and its beneficial properties. Hematite can help bolster low self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable and allowing you to feel better about yourself.

Hematite has historically been used as an aid to astral projection. Use this stone during meditation to help you escape the illusionary chains of this physical reality and become more connected to your true, spirit self.

The root "hem/o" means "blood". When ground or cut, this blackish grey metallic stone forms a reddish powder. Hematite forms a reflective shield around the wearer, letting negativity bounce off and return to the sender. The bearer should remember however, that their own negativity will be reflected to them if they are its source. It is therefore a "lesson stone," teaching the aware to release and ground their negativity. It heals and cleanses the blood and improves memory.


Hematite and synergy:

Hematite is a good stone for those born during the Moon of Renewal - (22 Dec- 19 Jan.) Its grounding and soothing energies can help you relax and unwind both physically and mentally. Hematite's renewing qualities also make this stone an excellent match for those born during this time of the year, but everyone can benefit from this stone.

Hematite is a good choice for those born under the zodiac sign of Virgo.
