Hematite

Hematite is a heavy, metallic-grey iron ore that polishes to an almost mirror-like shine, distinct from most other crystals on a shelf. It's strongly associated with grounding, believed to anchor scattered energy and support focus during stressful or chaotic periods. Some also turn to it for a sense of protection when heading into demanding situations. Its density and cool touch make it a popular choice for bracelets worn on the wrist, close to the pulse.
