Groups of Hematite tinted lustrous Quartz points resembling the shape of flowers associated with Pyrite and Chalcopyrite from Dongxiang Co., Fuzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi, China.  The Hematite is in red to reddish brown color, so glamorous and showy!  Hematite had been used as red pigment for paintings at Gramalote, an early Initial Period (1500–1200 cal. B.C.) maritime community in the north coast of Peru.  Hematite gets its name from a Greek word which has a meaning of “blood-like”, referring to the red color of its powered form.
 
Healing Properties:
 
Hematite is a very protective stone and helps to absorb negative energy and calms in times of worry.  It is one of the best Root Chakra crystals as it neutralizes the harmful effects by balancing and aligning all seven chakras, transforming negative energies into a more positive vibration.
 
Clear Quartz is the most popular and versatile healing crystal of all and is able to work on any condition.  It stimulates the immune system and brings the body into balance.
 
Pyrite also is a powerful protection stone which shields the user from any negative vibrations and energy.  It stimulates the intellect and enhances memory, helping to recall relevant information when needed.
