Stone Wisdom: The name Hematite comes from the Greek word haima meaning blood, in allusion to its color when in powdered form.
Hematite has been used for thousands of years as amulets and talismans. It was used by the ancient Egyptians in religious ceremonies, and was used as an inscription stone for passages from the Book of the Dead. Hematite was also said to give success in petitions and lawsuits, and to give protection and strength and luck to soldiers. Hematite is said to enhance one's physical energy and vitality, and to calm emotions and boost self-esteem. It is also said to enhance memory and intellect. The traditional birthstone for June is the pearl. Of course, pearl is not a "stone" in the sense of being a rock formed in the crust of the earth, but rather a hardened secretion produced by shelled water animals called mollusks. When a small irritant, usually a piece of sand, becomes trapped in the mollusk's soft tissues, the animal secretes a substance called nacre (also called "mother of pearl") which surrounds the irritant. The nacre builds up, layer by layer, producing a smooth, hardened pearl." Location: Hand-Crafted
