Hematite tumblestones
Hematite tumblestones
Tumblestones or tumbled stones have been tumbled with grit in a large tumbling machine to create a polished surface that is pleasant to hold and is also good for reflecting the colour of the stone. They are a great, inexpensive way to get to know crystals and to start building your collection. They are also perfect tools for healing and gridmaking.
If you purchase a pair or grid set, each is individually handpicked with great care for balance and coherence. If you order multiple singles, we cannot always guarantee to have enough stock to make up a balanced pair or set, but we will do our best.
These tumblestones are our 'standard stock' and we usually have many available. They all pass Sue's quality test, but since they are natural stones there will be some variation in appearance. You may not receive the item in the photograph.
Hematite is iron ore and often comes in a greyish metallic mass that looks like solid bubbles and leaves a red dust (rust!) residue. You are most likely to come across it as a silver, polished stone.
It is the most effective energy that I know for grounding, and can also be used for protection. It is an excellent help for the effects of shock, following accidents and operations, and can help to stabilise in times of extreme stress.
In my experience, hematite is a stone that seems to elicit strong feelings of compatibility/non-compatibility - you are either a hematite person or not! If hematite resonates with you, it is an amazing ally and gives comfort, strength and support in many situations.
I wear anklets when flying and also use to help with Jet Lag, and also use for shielding if I need strong protection.
