Each Hematite Tumbled Stone Pack contains hand-polished specimens that display the metal-like luster unique to this natural iron oxide mineral.
The stones are dense, cool to the touch, and highly reflective, giving them a distinctive silvery-gray finish.
Their smooth polish makes them ideal for use in meditation, display, or mineral collections.
Hematite, with the formula Fe₂O₃, belongs to the Oxides and Hydroxides mineral class.
It forms through the oxidation of iron-bearing minerals in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous environments.
The mineral’s atomic structure mirrors that of corundum (Al₂O₃), consisting of Fe³⁺ ions arranged in octahedral coordination with oxygen atoms in a hexagonal closest-packed lattice.
Large deposits are found in Brazil, Australia, China, and the Lake Superior region of the United States, where hematite forms as layers within ancient banded iron formations (BIFs).

Hematite’s name comes from the Greek haima, meaning “blood,” referencing the red streak it leaves when powdered.
Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, used finely ground hematite as a pigment and protective amulet, believing it carried the strength of iron and the energy of the Earth.
Hematite’s mirror-like polish and weighty density make it a popular choice among collectors.
The stone’s metallic brilliance contrasts beautifully with natural matte stones in mixed sets, and its reflective sheen symbolizes inner focus and self-reflection.
Traditionally, Hematite is associated with grounding, balance, and mental clarity.
It is said to absorb negative energy, stabilize emotions, and encourage logical thinking — making it a favorite for those seeking focus and calm under stress.
Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasives or chemicals to preserve polish.
Keep away from prolonged moisture to prevent oxidation.
Store in a dry environment or in its provided bag.
