Hematite was one of the first stones used by human hands — not as ornament, but as pigment. The red ochre found in prehistoric burial sites across Africa and Europe is oxidized Hematite, ground and applied with deliberate intention. By the time of ancient Egypt, the stone had moved from pigment to amulet: Hematite scarabs and carved figures appear in tombs of the New Kingdom, placed among the dead as objects of protection. Roman soldiers carried it into battle for the same reason. The name comes from the Greek haima, blood — a reference to the red streak the stone leaves when cut. — Kunz, G.F., The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, J.B. Lippincott, 1913
