Hematite is a naturally occurring iron oxide mineral that has a dark steel gray color. This natural stone has been found all over the globe, from South Africa to the shores of Lake Superior in Canada. Many believe that Hematite can be used to absorb negative spiritual energy and was often featured in mourning jewelry during the Victorian Era.
