The way the Hematite gems are configured in this pendant makes them look like liquid mercury. The whole piece is fluid and luminous. Hematite literally means "blood stone", and has had that association through much of history. Ancient Egyptians used it to stanch blood and promote the formation of blood cells. In the Middle Ages is was known as the "blood stone" due to the fact that the water used to polish it would turn red during the process, as if the stone were bleeding. Native American folklore states that war paint made from hematite will make one invincible in battle. People in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries wore hematite jewelry during mourning. Hematite is known as the "stone for the mind" and is a 1st (base/root) chakra gemstone. It helps one to sort things out and can be used for mental attunement, memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. It assists one in mathematical pursuits and in the development of both mental and manual dexterity. It can be used to stimulate the desire for, and attainment of, peace, self control and inner happiness. It has been said to attract "kind" love and help one enter a loving relationship. (via etsy.com)
