HEMATITE Crystal Skulls

Hematite is an iron oxide most often recognized as being a silver grey metallic color (it can also have other color variations from black to brown to red). Hematite is a very grounding and protective stone. It dissolves and deflects negativity, and prevents you from absorbing the negativity of others.  These hematite crystal skulls may also stimulate ease of attracting love due to their mirroring quality.

It is a powerful aid for meditation, calming the mental state, tuning the consciousness and increasing the pathways that lead to inner knowledge.

Spiritual Benefits:

Hematite is highly recommended for grounding and is associated with the Root Chakra at the base of the spine. Considered to be the symbol of life energy, hematite helps one adjust to being physical, and encourages one’s survival instincts. Hematite is a protective stone known to deflect negativity because of its reflective quality. It restores equilibrium, stability and centering. It brings awareness back to the body and helps maintain a sense of self (which can be helpful in astral projection for returning to the body). Although hematite has been considered a warrior’s stone due to its association with iron and Aries, it offers protection and enables calm thinking rather than over stimulation of the blood into passion.  It strengthens the heart, imparts courage and endurance, protects from danger and supports peaceful sleep.

Physical Benefits:

Hematite helps to overcome compulsions and addictions, treating overeating, smoking and other forms of overindulgence. Hematite restores, strengthens and regulates the blood supply, aiding blood conditions such as anemia, cardio-vascular weakness, menstrual cramps, and nose-bleeds.  It can support the kidneys, regenerates tissue, stimulates the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood cells.  Hematite also assists with leg cramps, spinal alignment and fractures. Hematite can be helpful for recovering from the stress of jet lag, childbirth, surgery, tumors, nervous disorders and fevers.

History and Lore:

The root of the name Hematite is the Greek word for blood, "haima". Human cultures have long associated Hematite with blood because of its deep red color when sliced, and its tendency to turn water red. Hematite was known to be a Native American remedy for dental problems, pimples, canker sores and alcohol abuse - Native American folklore states that war paint made from hematite will make one invincible in battle. Roman soldiers wore it for protection as hematite is said to protect the wearer's vital energy and guarantee survival. Ancient Egyptians used hematite to calm hysteria and anxiety, and to stanch blood and promote the formation of blood cells - amulets of hematite have been found in nearly every pharaoh's tomb as a support in the afterlife. In the Middle Ages is was known as the "blood stone" due to the fact that the water used to polish it would turn red during the process, as if the stone were bleeding. People in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries wore hematite jewelry during mourning. Hematite is the stone now used in almost all marcasite jewelry.

A Special Note about Cleansing Hematite:

Do not cleanse hematite in water. It can be charged overnight in a bowl with quartz, as this will release negative energy and increase its positive energy (then you can cleanse the quartz in a sea salt water bath afterward). Warning: hematite will retain a "salt blemish" if washed in salt. Crystals react and energize by the light of the moon. The fuller the moon the more energized your crystal becomes. I would recommend your cleansing to be on or near the full moon so that the light can absorb into your crystal.
