Hematite: chakra association (Root), healing properties, and what it means when hematite appears in a dream.
Hematite is a metallic grey-black crystal associated with the Root chakra and the Earth element. Hematite is iron oxide — essentially rust crystallized — and carries that density in its crystal associations. It is a strongly grounding stone that works primarily at the root chakra, bringing scattered or anxious energy back into the body and into the present. Its weight in the hand is part of its appeal: it is physically as well as metaphorically anchoring.
