Magnetic Hematite Rainbow Diamonds Pair 42g

Pick one up before you buy it. The weight is the point.

Hematite is iron oxide, and it's dense — a small piece feels wrong in the hand, heavier than the eye expects. Polished it's mirror-black with a metallic sheen, but grind it and the powder is blood red. That's where the name comes from: haima, Greek for blood.

It has been used as red pigment for at least 40,000 years — the ochre in Aboriginal rock art and in the caves at Lascaux is hematite. NASA's spectrometers found it across the surface of Mars, which is why the planet is red.

Hematite is worked with for grounding and for holding your own edges when you're around a lot of other people. It sits with the root.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Keep it dry — it's iron, and iron rusts.
