Hematite The stone which strengthens the heart and gives courage Hematite is an iron ore and occurs as a collection of kidney-shaped nodules in the hollows in red iron rock. It is found world-wide, with the largest deposits in Brazil, China and Australia. The grinding water is blood-red, giving the stone its name (the Greek word Haimatoeis means blood). Hematite is usually worked in a sintered form (pulverized before being shaped under high pressure and high temperature). The processed stone is also known as hematite. The stone is said to have a blood-stilling effect. It is believed to strengthen the heart and give courage and power. For this reason it was given to soldiers going into battle..
