Hematite was named after the ancient Greek term for blood, owing to the rusty red colour it often displays in nature. 

Over a hundred thousands of years ago, Pre-Historic Man used hematite-rich red chalk to make some of the earliest cave markings known to historians. 

Hematite was used for protection in ancient civilisations: in Ancient Rome, it was sometimes used to decorate armour for soldiers to wear as they entered battle.
