HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Hematite's name derives from the Greek word "haima" for blood, reflecting the red streaks it forms in water.

  • Ancient Rome

    Hematite's association with Mars, the god of war, stemmed from its iron content and blood-red color. Soldiers carried it into battle, believing in its power to render them invulnerable and heal wounds.

  • Ancient Egypt

    Hematite was finely ground into powder and used cosmetically. This practice was more than aesthetic; Egyptians believed hematite possessed protective and healing powers, guarding against evil spirits and illnesses.
