{"title":"Stone Type - Rainbow Hematite","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"rhe-hrt-38_44mm","title":"Rainbow Hematite Heart - 1.75 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rainbow Hematite Heart carries a mirror-metallic surface shifting through violet, teal, gold, and green as it moves, with the colours sliding across each other rather than holding fixed positions. The underlying stone is dark and the coating sits on top of it, so the effect is closest to oil on water. The finish is highly reflective and the Heart is a comfortable hand size with the density hematite is known for. Colour distribution differs on every piece, since the coating follows the surface it was applied to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHematite is traditionally associated with protection and grounding, and is among the most commonly carried stones for anyone wanting something with real physical presence. A secondary association with clarity and focus gives it a reputation for steadiness and mental order together. The iridescent finish makes this a display piece rather than a working one, and hematite generally has a long documented history of protective use reaching back to Roman military tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Root, Solar Plexus\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Aries, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rat, Goat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Mars\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 5.5-6.5\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Oxide\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Rainbow Hematite\u003cbr\u003eForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished and Coated\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 44 mm (1.7 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 55-63 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold by Single Unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHematite is iron oxide, Fe2O3, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5, the same mineral responsible for the colour of red rocks, rust, and red ochre. The rainbow iridescence on this material is not a natural feature: it is produced by a titanium coating applied industrially to the polished stone. Naturally iridescent hematite does exist, where goethite oxidation on the surface creates a spectral sheen, but it is genuinely rare, and most commercial rainbow hematite is the titanium-treated version. That distinction matters, since the two differ substantially in scarcity and price. The base stone is natural hematite; the iridescence is applied, and is disclosed here as a matter of course. Hematite is one of the oldest minerals in human use, with red ochre from it found at archaeological sites over 100,000 years old. The base material is sourced from Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is selected for its quality, beauty, and visual consistency.

Naturally iridescent hematite does occur, where goethite inclusions and surface oxidation produce a genuine spectral sheen, but it is rare and accounts for very little of what reaches the market. The overwhelming majority of commercial rainbow hematite is titanium-coated and magnetically treated; this piece is confirmed non-magnetic, distinguishing it from the more common magnetic-treated variety. The iridescent colour is man-made rather than a natural property of the stone, and that treatment is why the colour is consistent across a batch instead of varying piece to piece the way natural material does. The base hematite is natural and is sourced principally from Brazil; the iridescent finish is applied afterward and is disclosed here as man-made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is selected for its quality, beauty, and visual consistency.
