Hematite is a mineral composed mainly of iron oxide and is commonly found in the form of black or greyish-black crystals. Hematite is known for its metallic luster and hardness, making it a popular choice for jewelry and ornamental pieces.

Hematite crystals are typically opaque and have a dark, metallic shine. The crystal structure of hematite is hexagonal, meaning that it has six-sided prisms with flat ends. The crystals can form in a variety of shapes, including tabular, platy, and equant.

Hematite is believed to have a range of metaphysical properties, including grounding and protective qualities. It is said to help balance the energy in the body and promote a sense of calmness and clarity. Hematite is also thought to stimulate the absorption of iron in the body, making it useful for people with anemia.

In terms of uses, hematite is often used in jewelry making and can be fashioned into beads, pendants, and other decorative items. It is also used in industrial applications, such as in the production of pigments, coatings, and as a polishing agent.

Overall, hematite crystals are a popular choice for both their aesthetic appeal and their purported metaphysical properties.

Hematite is a mineral that is believed to have several spiritual properties. Some of the most commonly attributed spiritual properties of hematite include:

Grounding: Hematite is said to be a powerful grounding stone that can help individuals connect with the energy of the earth. It is believed to help individuals feel more centered, calm, and balanced.

Protection: Hematite is also said to have protective properties, helping to shield individuals from negative energy and promoting a sense of safety and security.

Strength: Hematite is associated with physical strength and vitality, as well as mental and emotional strength. It is believed to help individuals overcome challenges and obstacles, and to foster resilience in the face of adversity.

Clarity: Hematite is said to promote clarity of thought and purpose, helping individuals to stay focused and clear-headed. It is believed to enhance concentration and memory, as well as mental and emotional clarity.

Manifestation: Hematite is also said to be a powerful manifesting stone, helping individuals to bring their desires and intentions into reality. It is believed to help individuals align their thoughts and actions with their goals and aspirations, and to support them in achieving their dreams.

I wrote all the above a long time ago so, I guess I was trying to attempt more at making articles.

I would love a Hemtite but I also don't want to buy anything here.

I already bought a fake labradorite here so I am not going to buy another fake stone.

I actually need to find that, I don't know what happened to my stone. I guess I need to clean more than I thought.

Anyway, I am just trying to submit the things I need to do and carry one.

I have several Cedar Hills Composition books that I wrote in so I am debating whether I should convert those to this vocal and get rid of them or use the paper for something else in the future.

My mom thinks that is a good idea but my dad doesn't.

Meh, maybe I can convert them then decide getting rid of them later or something.

I think also probably the objection here is that I have less time for myself. I think my dad wants me to take care of myself and my mom wants me to just keep working to death or something.

Or maybe she just wants me to continue what I am doing without adding anything.
