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.
