Such a unique shape. The flecks of hematite scattered throughout it is absolutely beautiful. I love the way it catches light. Hematite, in many quartz pieces, shows up as a red powder in the included quartz. In this way, your quartz piece will have an all over red appearance, or it may be flecked. This type of hematite included quartz is much more gentle when you are using it. Here it acts as the supportive friend, with the question “How may I help you to balance your need.” This gem helps strengthen bodily energies by increasing magnetism and can amplify the flow of life force energy when worn or placed near it. Hematite’s main component is iron, which is known for strength and stability. Hematite looks like steel when polished, and also has magnetic properties. Among ancient cultures from the Greeks to Native Americans, hematite was used for strength, endurance, and protection before battle. Of course, this crystal – as with any crystal – will never be a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle that likewise enhance these abilities within you. But they certainly will work hand in hand!
