Brain Hematite Specimen: natural Hematite, a natural specimen. In Sacred Crystals' teaching Hematite is the Crystal Form of Iron — chakra: Solar Plexus. When iron minerals come into contact with oxygen and water over extensive periods, they oxidize and crystallize, creating the distinctive metallic and often brain-like patterns seen in Brain Hematite. This process can take millions of years and occurs in iron-rich areas, often near sedimentary deposits or volcanic regions. The unique formations of Brain Hematite are a result of varying conditions during its formation, including temperature, pressure, and the presence of other minerals, which influence its final appearance and structure. In Sacred Crystals' Teaching Hematite is a tricky stone, as its coloring does not match its assigned chakra. It is a Solar Plexus stone and a guardian of trusting your gut instincts. It is the most important ore of iron — Vero calls it the Crystal form of Iron, a very close relative to the cast iron skillets our foremothers used. It is mined primarily to be made into iron, and then steel; without it, life as we know it would not be. Working in the Solar Plexus, the center for our instincts and our will, Hematite can create balance where what we know and what we want are in conflict. This balance can ease anxiety and bring calm to the body, mind and spirit, encouraging a transformation to the whole, healthy individual. Hematite is especially useful in relationships, helping to add stability and improve the overall quality of the relationship — another result of balancing what is with what is wanted, and finding middle ground. It protects you, and will break when it takes a hit for you. Finally, as a stone of the sacred masculine living in the solar plexus, it takes practical action. Add it to your crystal grids when things need to get done — with no nonsense. It will bring powerful action to the table with no fuss. Chakra: Solar Plexus.
