Of?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHematite\u003c\/strong\u003e is an \u003cstrong\u003eiron oxide mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is thus an important \u003cstrong\u003eiron ore\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appearance of \u003cstrong\u003eHematite\u003c\/strong\u003e can vary widely because this mineral naturally can display colours ranging from

blood, owing to the rusty red colour it often displays in nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a hundred thousands of years ago, Pre-Historic Man used \u003cstrong\u003ehematite-rich red chalk\u003c\/strong\u003e to make some of the earliest \u003cstrong\u003ecave markings \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003ecave paintings\u003c\/strong\u003e known to historians. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHematite\u003c\/strong\u003e was \u003cstrong\u003eused for protection\u003c\/strong\u003e in ancient civilisations: in Ancient Rome, it was

\u003cstrong\u003eHematite\u003c\/strong\u003e is a relatively \u003cstrong\u003ehard mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e, however care should still be taken to handle this mineral carefully to ensure it does not become damaged. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHematite Crystal Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHematite is metallic\u003c\/strong\u003e, so will be rust if placed in water: therefore, \u003cstrong\u003eHematite is not a water-safe crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cstrong\u003ecleaning your Hematite crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e, use as little water as possible and dry the stone thoroughly afterwards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHematite Crystal Healing
