Hematite translated to Greek means blood which is why it is also called "blood stone".
It has the ability to help prevent bleeding. Also, this stone can help improve relationships especially when it is worn in the left hand as a ring or any other type of jewelry.
The Hematite stone helps improve the oxygen supply to the body.
This is done by its ability to stimulate iron absorption in the body's small intestine. When it comes to meditation, Hematite is also an excellent stone for beginners as it prevents them from being overwhelmed by the abundance of emotions they may experience during meditation.
