Haematite is amazing, if you’ve never used it before, or maybe you’ve forgotten about this wonderful stone, then the following article should spark your interest.

Haematite, also spelled  hematite, is the mineral form of iron oxide. It is a magnetic stone, that is quite heavy. It is normally black, or steel coloured, but can sometimes be brown or reddish. Tumbled haematite has a lovely cool feel to it and possesses such wonderful calming, soothing energies.

It is a great stone for balancing and grounding. It is normally associated with the base chakra- the centre for grounding.

Haematite strengthens our connection with Mother Earth, promoting feelings of security and inner strength. When you work with it any excess energies are taken down through the base chakra and pulled down into the earth. This is particularly useful if you have been using crystals of a high vibration to stimulate the third eye or crown chakra, haematite can literally bring you down to earth!
