Botryoidal Hematite
Hematite is an iron oxide mineral with a metallic silver to gunmetal grey sheen – though it appears black when polished, its streak is always red. It has a high density and is often used as a natural ore of iron.
In crystal healing, hematite is known for its grounding and protective qualities, said to help with focus, stability, and energetic boundaries.
