This crystal, originally referred to as “Haematite” was officially discovered in 1773 by Jean Baptiste rome de I’Isle, who removed the first “a” to make it “Hematite.” The name is derived from the Greek word for blood “haima” due to the colour the mineral turns when ground to powder.
Hematite This beautiful metaphor of appearing strong on the outside but delicate on the inside represents how us as humans give so much more importance to our ego and the external world than we do to our Soul.
