These silvery-gray stones can be polished to such a high sheen that long ago they were used as mirrors. Hematite's content is iron oxide, and because iron was traditionally associated with Mars, warriors used to rub their bodies with it in the belief that it would protect them.
Hematite is a protective stone, though perhaps not in the way the ancient Romans imagined it to be. I particularly recommend this stone for people who have difficulty in preventing themselves from absorbing the emotions of others...helloooo empaths out there and psy vamps.
Hematite, as a power stone whose purpose is to deepen the connection between spirit and body, helps us to keep our sense of self and sense of purpose firm. Its reflective quality symbolizes its ability to help deflect the emotions of others.
Also, I have found that Hematite has a place among the stones of a healer, right up there with amethyst. Generally, I use this stone to ground, to protect and to heal.
