For the warrior and artistry

Hematite is a common stone that most people are familiar with.  This iron oxide stone is usually black to grey and polishes to a metallic black.  Occasionally samples of hematite are found that are reddish brown.  Hematite is one of the sources of iron ore for industrial use.  It is also used as a pigment for artist's paints, warrior's paint, face paint, and adornment.  It has been shaped and polished to serve as mirrors for both seeing the face and seeing the past and the future.

When it is shaped and polished, hematite makes beautiful jewelry and rings.  It can be magnetized and is often used for healing.  This healing can take place on a physical level, or it can take place on a metaphysical level.
