| Hematite, or "Alaskan Black Diamond," is a metallic grey mineral with a long history of medicinal use. The ancients dissolved hematite in egg whites to treat tumors on the eyelids. It was also mixed with oil and administered as a cure for blood diseases. Known more for its lustre and shiny, smooth appearance than for its folklore, hematite is an extraordinary addition to any piece of jewelry. | ||||||||||
