Historical Lore:
Hematite is an iron oxide mineral that has been used since ancient times, with evidence of use in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Rome. It was commonly ground into pigment for red ochre, used in cave paintings and decorative art. The name “hematite” is derived from the Greek word haima, meaning “blood,” referring to the red colour of its powdered form. In ancient Rome, it was also used in seals and carved objects due to its density and smooth finish when polished.
