Black to steel-grey mineral composed of iron and oxygen. It is the principal ore of iron.
This comes from the Greek word for "blood", "haima." Hematite is the ore from which we get most of our iron.
An oxide of iron, and one of that metals most common ore minerals.
Hematite - A hexagonal (rhombohedral) oxide of iron, Fe2O3.

hee-ma-tie-t]- one type of iron ore that, when crushed and heated, makes a red powder called red ochre.
silvery, shiny opaque stone. This is the stone that looks like it could be metal. Genuine hematite is heavier than most stones and seems cold when you first touch it.
a mineral form of iron(III) oxide (Fe) and an important ore of iron. It is a major component of bauxite residue, the waste material from the digestion stage of the Bayer process.
A shiny, opaque, black to silvery gray mineral often used in jewelry. Hematite is iron oxide (Fe2O3) with a Mohs hardness rating of 6.5.
The most common iron ore, it is a natural iron oxide that is reddish or brown in colour.
this shiny stone was once used for mirrors, and was said to "ground" one's energy and to protect the wearer from weakness, stress, fear and bleeding. It is also said to "aid the flow of yin and yang energies in the nervous system". The gray metallic luster is complementary to sterling silver jewelry.
a grayish blackish kind of stone. Many CBRs come with hematite beads.
A grey, metallic or earthy iron oxide mineral, which powders to a red colour; the principal ore of iron.
a red-colored iron oxide mineral. Small amounts of it create red, pink, and reddish-gray colors in rocks, especially sedimentary rocks.
a reddish brown ore that can be pulverized into a reddish powder and used as a coloring agent
This blackish sometime redish stone is said to help to sort things out in the mind and for that reason is sometimes called the " the mind stone" In healing practices it has been used for mental attunement and to enhance the memory. It facilitates balancing the energies of the yin-yang and helps to balance the meridians within the body. It has the capability of helping the body to remain cool and was often used on the forehead to reduce fever. It provides for smooth grounding and emotional clarity.
A type of iron oxide mineral that usually, but not always, forms in association with liquid water.
A common iron mineral with the chemical formula Fe2O3.
A form of native iron ore, blood-red in color. (See Black Sand).
a red colored ore mineral of iron (iron2oxygen3), often found in layers gneous – the primary rock that is formed by the cooling of molten magma
A common mineral; a form of iron oxide with the formula Fe2O3.
A common iron oxide mineral, occurring in several forms, with a distinctive brick-red color when powdered.
Natural ferric oxide. Improves all blood disorders, helps coagulation. Reduces stressful effects of air travel, combats insomnia. Enhances astral projection, promotes balance, focus, convergence and concentration of energy. The hematite is a stone which it is said will help to increase courage and it is also claimed that it will strengthen the heart and is good for reducing a rapid pulse.
Hematite is a lustrous, opaque, blue-black to silvery gray mineral often used in jewelry. Hematite has a hardness of 6.5. Hematite is found in England, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, and the Lake Superior region of North America.
This highly lustrous rock is present as silvery-gray plate like masses in some rocks. Mineral and crystal healers associate Hematite with blood, and therefore use it as remedy for a variety of blood-related maladies.
An iron ore (Fe203) which is of reddish brown color. Hematite is one of the main non-magnetic minerals that comprise black sand concentrates.
a natural iron oxide which was used as a reddish pigment.
A common mineral composed of iron oxide. Often grey or silver grey, Hematite takes a nice mirror polish and makes attractive cabochons and beads.
An opaque mineral; yielding pigments when red and earthy; fashioned as intaglios and other carved gems when dark gray to black with metallic luster. The latter variety is translucent and red in very thin sections. Leaves red streak which identifies from most imitations. Sources: England, Scandinavia, U.S.A.(Lake Superior region).
Hematite is a strange stone. It is projective, grounding and healing. It is heavy, solid and silvery black. To ancients, "hematite" was not what we currently call hematite, but instead what we have come to call bloodstone -- so all ancient referrals to hematite actually refer to bloodstone. Hematite possess curious properties of healing itself. If you scratch it and then rub your finger over it, the scratch may disappear. Hold a piece of hematite and ask a question, the answer will come to you. See also: bloodstone
(1530, from the Greek word aima or ema, meaning blood, apparently because of the red colour of powdered hematite and the colour of some larger pieces) Hematite is a relatively common iron ore, occurring in thin, relatively brittle, crystals which are black or a dark iron-grey. The individual crystals have a strong, metallic lustre. It may also be less solid, almost earthy, and red in colour.
Fe2O3 Hematite is an iron ore occuring in massive form and has a steel gray to reddish color. One of the heaviest ores found, hematite contains about 70% iron. Hematite is smooth and non-crystalline. Mostly found in sedimentary rocks, it can also form large replacement deposits. Sources are the United States, Canada, and Brazil.
A mineral (iron oxide) that has a dark steel grey color and a high luster. Hematite is a popular component of fashion jewelry and has a hardness of 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 on the mohs scale.
Frequently fashioned as a cabochon or beads, the mineral hematite is highly versatile.
a silvery, shiny opaque stone that almost looks like metal
Iron ore consisting of ferric oxide in crystalline form, hematite is silvery, shiny opaque stone that becomes a red powder when ground down. It manifests in splendent rhombohedral crystals that are very heavy and cold to the touch.
a widely distributed mineral which is an important iron ore, occurring in crystalline, massive, or granular form, and reddish-brown when powdered. [AHDOS
(sometimes spelled haematite, and also known as kidney ore) is a lustrous, opaque, blue-black to silvery gray mineral often used in jewelry.
Also spelt "haematite". A mineral composed of iron oxide. Commonly machined into balls used as the captured beads in rings. Chemical formula Fe2O3.
Hematite (AE) or haematite (BE) is the mineral form of Iron(III) oxide, (Fe2O3), one of several iron oxides. Hematite crystallizes in the rhombohedral system, and it has the same crystal structure as ilmenite and as corundum. Hematite and ilmenite form a complete solid solution at temperatures above 950°C.
