The Iron Anchor
 
The Specimen Ground your energy with the heavy, metallic luster of our Tumbled Hematite. This iron oxide mineral is unmistakable for its cool-to-the-touch surface and its brilliant, mirror-like "gunmetal" finish. While it appears solid silver-black on the outside, Hematite actually possesses a deep red interior (its name comes from the Greek word haima, meaning blood). These tumbles are dense and weighted, providing a comforting physical presence that immediately signals the body to relax and center itself.
 
The Experience Hematite is the heavyweight champion of the Root Chakra. It is perhaps the most effective stone in the mineral kingdom for "grounding" scattered energy and pulling your focus back into the physical body. Like a lightning rod, it absorbs emotional turbulence and environmental "static," anchoring your consciousness to the present moment. Hematite is also a stone for the mind; it is believed to enhance memory, logical thinking, and technical knowledge. By creating a protective "reflective shield" around your aura, it prevents the emotional energy of others from draining your own, making it an essential tool for empaths and those working in high-stress environments.
 
The Invitation Carry this Hematite tumble in your pocket when you overwhelmed, or disconnected from reality. It is a fantastic companion for students or professionals who need to maintain intense focus during complex tasks. During meditation, place a piece at your feet or hold one in each hand to quickly stabilize your energy field. Note: Due to its high iron content, Hematite should not be cleansed in water as it may rust over time. Instead, cleanse its energy using a Selenite plate or by placing it in a bowl of dry brown rice.
