✨ Also known as "Black Blood Stone," Hematite is a widely found mineral across all continents. It can appear in various crystal forms—plate-like, blocky, spherical ⚽️, or even powdered. When hematite forms beautifully layered structures, it earns the poetic name “Iron Rose” 🌹. In its powdered state, it takes on a reddish-brown hue 🟤, contributing to the formation of red clay 🔴.
💂♂️ In Europe, soldiers used to carry Hematite into battle, believing it could reduce bleeding on the battlefield 🩸. With its smooth, black surface, high-quality Hematite was once known as the “Black Diamond” or “Black Blood Stone” in ancient Babylon 🖤. It was believed to reflect evil and protect its wearer—making it a powerful talisman. 💪
