Hematite is said to be a calming and grounding stone. It keeps us focused on the present and provides mental clarity. Hematite is believed to relieve stress, boost self-confidence, improve memory, repel negative energy, and even cleanse the blood. Hematite is associated with the Zodiac signs of Aries and Aquarius. It is given as a gift for the 11th wedding anniversary. Hematite is the official mineral for the State of Alabama.

Please note that Much of the hematite on the market today is synthetic, and it is very difficult to know the difference between natural and synthetic hematite. Although a synthetic stone does not hold the spiritual properties of a natural one, the main ingredient of hematite, whether it is natural or made in a lab, is iron oxide.

Seashells have been used in healing since ancient times. Shells are said to enhance intuition, heighten sensitivity, and fuel imagination. They provide mental clarity and help us to make wise decisions. Shells foster cooperation and teamwork. Since they come from the ocean, their energy gives us that serenity and well-being that we feel when we are surrounded by the ocean with its tranquil and peaceful waves.
