Hematite with a difference - not smooth and shiny, but with numerous bulges on the surface of the drilled cabochon. In mineralogy, this special type of Hematite is called a "glass head".
In his bestseller "555 Healing Stones from A-Z", Michael Gienger dedicated a separate section to the glass head and distinguished this rarity from ordinary Hematite. The gemstone healing classification of glass head Hematite is the themes of improvement, strengthening the will and focusing attention on basic needs.
The drilled cabochons of glass hematite are approx. 3 cm in size and approx. 10 mm thick; the size of the hole is 2.5 mm.
Other names for Hematite are bloodstone, iron luster, red iron stone and red iron ore.
With a density of 5.26, shiny silver Hematite is one of the particularly heavy gemstones.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged.
