Hematite
This is a weird one and actually one of the stones that I don’t work with very often as I find it very ‘heavy’ and overpowering, but it is excellent to use in magic. The outside is a silvery black metallic colour and the inside is stained dark red, like blood. Hematite being made mostly of iron the red colour is caused by rust. And now it gets a bit confusing…what you often find sold as hematite is in reality a stone called hematine. Hematine is made from a mixture of stainless steel, comium and nickel sulphides. It is to the eye virtually identical to natural hematite, however hermatine is magnetic and natural hematite is not.
