Hematite is a metallic mineral and iron oxide that exhibits a distinctive silver-gray to black color and a metallic luster. It's often used in both jewelry and as a healing stone.

Hematite is believed to possess grounding and protective properties. It is thought to help balance the mind, body, and spirit and promote courage, strength, and clarity.

To maintain the shine and appearance of hematite jewelry, clean it with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or prolonged water immersion, as it can affect the metallic finish.
