Hematite Tumbled Stone
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. These tumbled stones are ideal for keeping you anchored – perfect for pockets, meditation, or placing near devices to absorb energetic clutter.

The Grounding & Protection Collection features mostly black and brown crystals.
Black crystals are primarily known for their protective qualities. They offer a shield against negative energy, absorb and neutralise negative vibes, and provide a grounding effect. These crystals are often associated with the root energy centre related to grounding, security, and basic needs. Their connection with the root emphasises their role in providing stability, a sense of safety, and anchoring one's energy in challenging times.
Brown crystals are typically used for their grounding and balancing effects. They help connect with the earth, bringing a sense of stability and balance and aiding in practicality and decision-making. Often linked with the root and sacral energy centres, brown crystals support physical health, enhance one's connection to nature, and encourage rational, pragmatic thinking.
