Hematite Quartz

Hematite Quartz (shop SKU HEQU700) is offered as a mineral specimen online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Hematite is an iron oxide mineral with a metallic gray to black luster and a characteristic red streak. In crystal traditions, hematite is associated with grounding and protection. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.
