Haematite / Hematite is the primary ore used for the production of iron. It was also used historically as a red or brown pigment. The name hematite is derived from the Greek "haimatitis", meaning "blood-red", because it gives rocks a reddish tinge. If soils or rocks have a reddish color, it is usually due to hematite, and it's actually hematite that gives the planet Mars it's reddish hue! Hematite also has magnetic properties and hematite jewelry has become quite popular lately. Hematite beads are usually strung together along with other kinds of beads (crystal and amethyst) into long strands that spontaneously snap together, making an instant 'lariat' style necklace. Finally, hematite is a very pretty stone with a a lustrous dark silvery-gray color.
