History, Ritual & Lore

Historically noted for its powerful energy, ancient Greeks ready for battle rubbed themselves down with crushed Hematite to make themselves invincible. When large deposits of Hematite were found on a battlefield, it was believed to be the blood of fallen soldiers. Ancient Egyptian tombs have been discovered with Hematite inside them. A common stone on earth, it is also found everywhere on the planet Mars & is greatly responsible for the planets red color.
