Hematite is a shiny, dark-coloured stone found all over the world. It is made mainly of iron, which gives it its metallic sheen. It also gives it an interesting quirk of naming – although the hematite that we see in our daily lives is dark grey, its name comes from a Latin phrase meaning “blood stone.” Why? Because, when it is found naturally, the iron content is covered in rust.

In Ancient Rome, hematite was a popular stone for decorative purposes. Jewellery, weapons, and even armour decorated with hematite were traded widely. The dark colour was thought to be especially intimidating or protective.

Hematite stones are opaque, not the strongest of stones (it has a 5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale), and they have a strong metallic lustre. When found in nature, it will be rough and red, but once polished, it takes on a beautiful, mirror-like sheen, which makes it extremely popular in semi-precious jewellery.

Just like Amethyst, this stone’s energy is earthy, and it is one of the best stones that you can use to harness the power of the element of earth to lend you strength and dispel negativity. If you are interested in learning how to use hematite’s power, simply read on!

Why Would You Use Hematite Crystals-Stones?

Hematite’s powerfully earthy energy means that it can be used for almost any project that involves the power of the element of earth. Earth is the element that rules the physical world, money, practical thinking, and decision making.

As I’m sure you can imagine, this makes the powers of earth extremely popular and beneficial!

Thinking in a solid, logical way that will also improve your material and financial life is a pretty positive way to go through life.

Specifically, hematite is a good stone for organizing one’s thoughts and developing logical thinking skills.

This is a useful stone for improving your skills in subjects such as mathematics, argumentation and debate, or problem-solving.

If you’re put off by the idea of a stone benefiting “logical” thinking, and worried that it might negatively impact your creativity, fear not! In fact, logical thinking is a prerequisite for creative thinking.

The most creative thinkers, from painters like Picasso to scientists like Einstein, or even young children, are actually the most ruthless appliers of logic. They apply logic so rigorously that they come very quickly to conclusions or ideas that other people would dismiss as “crazy.”

In other words, if you feel that your creative thinking is stagnant and you want some more, then applying hematite to improve your logical thinking skills is the best thing you can possibly do for yourself!

It also has strong emotional benefits, because, as many dark-coloured stones do, hematite dispels negativity and “purifies” the emotional realm.

It balances its user’s self-esteem and self-vision by sweeping away all the negativity that so often clouds our understanding of ourselves.

By using hematite, you make way for more positive energy to enter into your life.

Hematite’s main property could be described as “grounding.”

If you tend to have a “flighty” mind, prone to distraction, lack of focus, or anxiety, or even if you feel that you have a strong imagination, but that it’s impacting you negatively, this could be the perfect stone for you.

It won’t “kill” your imagination – quite the opposite, as described above! – but it will give you an increased ability to focus your mind in a productive way, rather than becoming psychically distracted.

How Will Hematite Help You?

Hematite can benefit you in multiple different fields of your life.

It is best known for its positive effects in business and career fields, but it can also be helpful in your romantic relationships, your family life, your spiritual development, and your general perspective towards yourself.

Hematite and Wealth

First, let’s tackle hematite’s role in your career. Because of its connection to the element of earth, this is one of the best stones you can use for its financial benefits. Remember, earth is the element that rules money – why do you think American money is green?

If you’re seeking a promotion, a raise, or maybe a whole different job that will benefit you from a financial perspective, hematite is a great stone to incorporate into your life. Its power will not only make people see you in a more positive way, but also give you the skills of strong logical thinking and practicality that are so rare and valuable in most career fields.

Hematite, Love and Relationships 

When it comes to interpersonal relationships – whether romantic, familial, or just friendly or social – this is the perfect stone for keeping you far away from “drama.” While some people seem to attract fusses like magnets, hematite will repel all that unnecessary, negative, attention-seeking behaviour.

From a spiritual and emotional perspective, hematite is a good stone for fostering gratitude for what you have. Appreciating what you have in the here and now is one of the single healthiest things that you can do for your mind and spirit.

Hematite and Healing

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention hematite’s history as a physically healing stone. Hematite has been used for centuries in medicine for a very good reason – it contains iron! Iron deficiency is the cause of many health problems, so it’s only natural that an iron-containing stone would be touted for its healing properties.

Hematite has been said to have positive effects on the heart and the circulatory system. It can also ease symptoms that are exacerbated by stress or anxiety, due to its grounding properties.

Remember, however: crystology is never an acceptable substitute for professional medical attention! Never use any stone as a replacement for seeing a qualified doctor or medical professional.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, due to hematite’s iron content, any sort of healing process that requires you to consume any quantity of the stone should be regarded with extreme caution and skepticism. Iron is an important micronutrient, and if you’re an Ancient Roman, then taking a hematite elixir might be a great way to get it, but it can quickly become toxic if you’re literally eating the metal. Get your iron nutrients from spinach or red meat instead, and save hematite for spiritual nutrition.

How to Use Hematite Crystals for the Best Results

Because hematite is both very aesthetically pleasing and relatively inexpensive and common, hematite jewellery is quite easy to procure. As such, a nice range of hematite jewellery is a gery easy thing to collect.

When you are preparing for a difficult confrontation (especially one that has to do with money), put on your hematite like armour! This strong, protective stone will keep you emotionally and spiritually safe, and it should be thought of as having that purpose. When you put it on, think of yourself like a knight in a movie putting on his armour before going into battle.

This also applies if, for whatever reason, the “energy” of your house itself feels wrong. Many people who believe that their houses are haunted by traumatic memories would benefit from placing some hematite in the house to “suck out” the residual negative energies.

If you are suffering from nightmares (or have a partner or child who is), place hematite under your (or their) bed or pillow in order to keep the negative energies that cause nightmares at bay.

The name is derived from the Greek word ‘malakos’, meaning soft. But there’s nothing soft or weak about this stone that is also known as the mirror of the soul!

How Will Malachite Help You?

Malachite and Health

The malachite is famous for its healing energies. It can help boost your immune system so that you don’t fall sick easily, even when you’re in a room full of people with a bad cold.

When you’re experiencing irregular menstruation, having malachite close to you all the time can help regulate your period and fix your monthly cycle. This will also aid in your efforts to be pregnant or become more fertile.

If you’re suffering from painful menstrual periods, malachite can also help ease the painful symptoms. It can make your PMS go away, menstrual cramps, bloating, irritability, high emotions and all. It will help you not feel like a fragile little thing with an appetite of a horse every single month!

Did you know that malachite is also called The Midwife Stone? Midwives use it to ease labor pains and to protect both mom and baby during child birth. If you have any concern with anything related to the female organ, the malachite is your go-to stone.

Malachite also works well in lowering your blood pressure. It’s good to have it with you when you have heart problems, or if you’re suffering from asthma, rheumatic pains, or intestinal problems.

Healers also use malachite to ease the trembling associated with Parkinson’s disease. If you have vertigo or are prone to suffer travel sickness, it will be a great idea to have malachite in your pocket or inside your purse whenever you go out.

It’s also effective in healing tumors, fractures, or swollen joints and muscles. When you’re feeling muscle aches or strains after a long day at work, running this stone though the part that aches can make you feel a whole lot better.

Malachite can also help your liver release toxins from your body. It’s a stone that uses wood energy, which symbolizes good health and nourishment. When you have malachite in your possession, it will boost your vitality and encourage your body to grow well physically.

Malachite and Wealth

Malachite is a growth crystal that is a potent aid in growth, development, creation, or renewal. When you hit that point in your life where you feel that nothing exciting is happening, or that nothing seems to be working, the energies that you can get from malachite will help you get out of this slump.

It’s the stone of good fortune, so the wearer of this stone will attract all things good when it comes to money, wealth, and opportunities. It symbolizes abundance, expansion, and new beginnings.

When you find yourself in a tough spot and finding it difficult to make ends meet, malachite can help you see new ways to improve your situation and spot new opportunities to remedy your situation.

The green in malachite is a good talisman for new business ventures and for keeping your projects on course and on schedule. It’s also a reassurance that no matter how busy or crazy your life becomes, your life will always be on track.

Malachite energy will give you the strength and wisdom in your professional pursuits. It will promote practicality as well as loyalty in your business partnerships.

Malachite, Love and Relationships

When it comes to love and relationships, malachite acts as a protection stone that absorbs negative energies and pollutants around you. It helps you release all unwanted feelings that can harm you and your relationship.

Malachite is dedicated to your heart chakra. If you want to know where the heart chakra is, it’s right in the center of your breastbone.

This stone will give you a clearer idea on what you should be embracing when it comes to love and life. It will give you a better understanding on the things or the people that you should be avoiding as well.

When the heart chakra is out of balance, there’s a feeling of being out of balance with your emotions, your way of thinking, your way of dealing with people, and your way of handling your relationships.

You will realize that your patience is extra short, that you are easily irritated and snappish, and that you are more open to quarrels and disagreements.

The green energy that the malachite gives will help you regain the balance of your heart chakra. It will help you realize and understand your needs, your wants, and your own emotions.

You will have a better understanding of how to deal with your emotions when it comes to that person you love, your relationship with that person, and the direction that your relationship is heading. You will be more accepting of the changes with an open heart and have a more positive outlook.

Malachite promotes change. If you are ready to leave the past behind and move forward to something better, this stone will give you the courage and strength to do it.

It will give you the emotional healing that you need to finally free yourself from the trauma and negative experiences of the past. It will open your eyes to what’s preventing you from achieving emotional or spiritual growth.

If you have always been scared or cautious about love, malachite will encourage you to be more of a risk taker. It will give you the courage to sever unwanted or unhealthy ties with people who are no longer good for you.

A malachite stone will also change your old patterns, habits, and behaviors. It will draw out your deep-seated feelings and their psychosomatic causes.

You may think that it’s just a stone, but its healing energies will help you deal with depression and anxiety caused by problematic or bad relationships. It will help you overcome your fears and make you confront the problem more bravely.

It will encourage you to voice out your feelings and resist any form of emotional blackmail. By doing so, you will also be freeing yourself from any kind of emotional abuse.

Malachite is a good stone to have because it will remove any trace of shyness. This will work especially well for you when you want to strike up a conversation with that guy you like and just set the wheels in motion.

It will promote healthy and happy relationships that are based on love, not just lust or need. When you have malachite with you all the time, you will have a stronger sense of friendship and passion for that person you love.

Malachite will help you gain a better sense of responsibility for your own thoughts and actions. There will be more faithfulness in your relationship, and you will finally stop feeling small and insignificant in your relationship.

How to Use Malachite for the Best Results

The malachite stone is one of the most beautiful stones you will ever see, so it’s really no surprise that it’s often used for jewelry. When malachite is placed very close to the body, it can harness your personal energy field!

If something has been tormenting you and causing you sleepless nights, you can speak your fears and worries out loud to your malachite stone while holding it in your hands.

Then place the malachite in a sheltered and secured place outside your house overnight to allow it to take away whatever is troubling you.

Put malachite in the east or southeast area of your house or your room so that you can also benefit from the prosperity and abundance that this stone is known to bring. If placed in the stagnant area of your workplace or your home, you can activate and open the flow of the positive energies in that space.

It’s best to put malachite stone beside appliances and gadgets to help protect you from their harmful rays. Put it next to your computer to keep your energy levels up all throughout the day, and to ward off emails or messages that bring bad news (combine it with our orgonite “Towerbuster” and you are fully protected)!
