Hematite functions as a grounding and stabilizing stone. It is best used for:
Anchoring energy into the physical body
Reducing mental overactivity and scattered thoughts
Supporting focus, concentration, and clarity
Providing emotional containment during stress or overwhelm
Strengthening energetic boundaries and resilience
When wearing hematite, you may feel heavier or more rooted, as the stone pulls excess mental or emotional energy downward into the body.

Hematite has been used by humans for over 40,000 years, making it one of the oldest minerals employed for practical and symbolic purposes. Early humans used powdered hematite as red ochre for cave paintings, body markings, and ritual use.
In ancient Egypt and Rome, hematite was worn by warriors for protection and strength, and used in amulets to enhance courage and endurance. Across cultures, it has long been associated with blood, iron, and life force due to its reddish streak when powdered.
