Hematite stone

Hematite stone has been used as an amulet against bleeding, and so is known as the "blood stone". When arranged like the petals of a flower, this stone is referred to as the "iron rose". People in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries wore hematite jewelry during mourning. Scientists of the Mars Exploration Rover Project believe that deposits of hematite on Mars may help prove whether large amounts of liquid water ever flowed on Mars' surface. They say that where water was, life may have had a chance to thrive as well.


It is believed that Hematite stone is capable of improving relationships. If anyone need the personal relationship to be better, they are advised to carry a hematite. Hematite is good for increasing intuition. It is believed that Hematite stone stimulates iron absorption in the small intestine, which in turn improves oxygen supply to the body.
