Hematite, a iron oxide mineral. Metallic silver-gray surface with a distinctive red streak (the name comes from the Greek haima meaning blood).

Where does it come from?

This batch is from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Grade AA, gray, black. Each piece 1-2 inches.

Untreated. Note: magnetic hematite is a manufactured material; ours is natural non-magnetic hematite.

What is it traditionally used for?

Hematite is often worked with for grounding practice, kept on a desk or carried during transitions and busy days. Traditionally associated with the root chakra.

How should I care for it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water as hematite can rust at the surface.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Hematite is heavy, metallic, and mirror-silver when polished. It's iron ore, so the weight makes sense. Run one along a piece of unglazed ceramic and it leaves a rust-red streak, which is where the name comes from.

This piece comes from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Hematite takes its name from the Greek haima, meaning blood, because of the red streak it leaves when rubbed on unglazed ceramic.

In the tradition, hematite shows up most often around staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and coming back to the task in front of you. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, hold one in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
