Hematite has probably been used since the earliest days of human civilization. For example, the ancient Egyptians used Hematite in the creation of their magical amulets. Some of these amulets were treatments for madness and inflammation. Hematite relates to Mars, the Roman God of War. The Romans glorified Mars more than the Greeks did, who loathed him and knew him as Ares. Warriors in Roman times used Hematite as protection during battle. So strong was their belief in the power of Hematite to protect them that they thought it could even make them invincible!Spooky but true: Nasa recently discovered large deposits of Hematite on Mars! If you don?t believe us here?s the link: Nasa.
