Hematite

Hematite is the main mineral in Iron and is mined in locations all around the world. The most notable places being Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, England, Germany, India, Mexico, Spain and Russia. In the United States, the states where hematite mining is the most common are Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Tennessee, Wyoming and Utah.

The hematite stone is always opaque and is a grey metallic color or almost black. Occasionally you will find small amounts of red within the stone. This is where the iron has oxidized and is why in times past, hematite was called "bloodstone" because many of the stones would "bleed" a red color when they were cut.

The so called "bleeding" is actually nothing more than the iron oxidizing, which is nothing more than rust. Yet this red "blood" is where it got it's name. It come from the Greek word haima meaning blood.

If you are ill, especially where fever is concerned or the if the body has build up of toxins, have someone comb your aura while holding a hematite gemstone. If you don't have someone to do this for you, meditate while holding one of the stones and visualize the stone drawing the fever/toxins/illness from your body and into the stone. Afterwards, make sure you wash the stone under running water to remove the build up of negative energy from it.
