{"product_id":"worry-stones-hematite-non-magnetic-dz-125-x-175-30409006","title":"Hematite Worry Stone - 1.75 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eHematite Worry Stone cut to a teardrop shape, with a wide, deep hollow scooped into most of one face and framed by a raised polished rim. The surface is a dark charcoal-black metallic tone with a strong sheen, catching light along the rim and inside the hollow rather than presenting an even mirror finish. The stone is dense and cold to first touch, and the weight is the thing most people comment on, since it runs well above what the size suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHematite is traditionally used for grounding and for steadying attention, and the weight is part of why it works as a carry piece rather than incidental to it. It is commonly held during focused work, kept in a pocket as something to reach for, or used at the close of a meditation to bring attention back to the body. It is also a frequent first stone for people who find lighter materials unconvincing to hold.\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\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Aries, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rat, Tiger\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Mars\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth, Fire\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 5.5-6.5\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Oxide\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Hematite\u003cbr\u003eForm: Worry Stone\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 46-47 mm (1.8-1.9 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 27-29 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHematite is iron oxide, Fe2O3, crystallising in the trigonal system at Mohs 5.5 to 6.5, and it is the same mineral that gives red rock, rust and red ochre their colour. The name comes from the Greek haema, meaning blood, a reference to the red-brown streak the stone leaves when scratched across an unglazed surface; despite that streak, polished hematite reads metallic silver-grey because of its lustre. It is among the oldest minerals put to use by people, with red ochre from hematite found at archaeological sites over 100,000 years old, used by the ancient Egyptians as a mirror, and reputedly rubbed over the body by Roman gladiators before combat. Natural hematite is non-magnetic; the magnetic material sold as Hematine or as Magnetite is a man-made sintered product and belongs to a separate category. Commercial material is sourced from Brazil, Australia, England, the USA and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
