Hematite is composed primarily of iron oxide (Fe2O3) and is generally found in black, gray to silver gray, brown to reddish brown and red. Some specimens are slightly iridescent, especially when polished. Hematite also possesses the fairly unique property among semi-precious gemstones of being paramagnetic, that is, it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields due to the high content of iron. Hematite is the stone for protection against, and the transformation of negativity. It balances the yin/yang energy. Hematite improves memory, allows for innovation, and enhances technical prowess. It allows the owner to "reach for the sun". It also facilitates a quiet meditation by attracting "kind love" and peace, enhancing self-control, and bringing inner happiness. Hematite has an affinity for Aries and Aquarius and vibrates to the number nine. Click on the following link to see an example of Jewelry with Hematite.
