Hematite is a very mysterious gemstone. Well known for it ability to aid in healing, it helps to stabilize blood circulation improving the oxygen supply to the body. In ancient times, Hematite was known as a "Blood Stone" for as it was polished with water, the water would turn red. The stone assists in purification of the energies of our physical and energetic circulatory systems. Also used for grounding, it is said to energize both the root chakra at the base of the spine & the 'Earth Star' below the feet.

"The Emotional Support Stone", Hematite protects the heart that loves. Protects against "wounding". Reflects back negativity and reduces stress to the whole body. Helps ground love energy so it doesn't fly away when challenged. Excellent for blood circulation and helps reduce leg and back pain. Also known as "The Stress Stone".

Magnetic Hematite has been known to cause harm with those with pace makers and other internal implants. 

Caution: Magnetic Hematite has been known to cause harm with those with pace makers and other internal implants. This is magnetic but I do offer tumbled non-magnetic for healing here in the shoppe too. Hematite can be in direct contact with the skin, but results in inflammation for some people, so test it carefully before using, and if inflammation should occur or worsen, discontinue contact immediately. Never wear a hematite near inflammations of any sort, as it can exacerbate them. Never discharge hematite in water.

TO USE YOUR GEMSTONE AS A PENDULUM: A pendulum is simple tool used for communicating and gaining guidance from the spiritual world. The pendulum amplifies signals or energy vibrations emanating from a spiritual guide or the divine energies you've called upon. These vibrations focus their attention on the pendulum and cause it to move in specific directions, giving you answers and guidance to the questions you put to the tool.

To use as a divination tool, hold the pendulum with your strong hand, very steady so it doesn't move. Ask your question:

Yes - an up and down direction.
No - a side to side direction.
Maybe - a diagonal direction, from the lower left to upper right corners of the circle.
Don't Want To Answer - a diagonal direction , from the lower right to the upper left corners of the circle.
Probably Yes - a clockwise circle.
Probably Not - a counter-clockwise circle.
