Hematite is known for its potent protective abilities, but what’s the best way to cleanse it when its healing energies become tangled or faded? Even though it takes its name from the Greek word for blood, hematite is sensitive—it contains iron oxide, meaning it’ll start to rust when it’s exposed to water for too long. Fortunately, there are many ways to safely cleanse hematite stones and jewelry that don’t involve getting them wet. Read on to refresh your hematite and enjoy its dazzling healing powers!
Steps
Warnings
- Hematite ranges from 5.5 to 6.6 on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning it’s fairly susceptible to scratches and damage from other objects or chemicals.[20]⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Hematite contains iron oxide, which turns to rust when it's exposed to water for long periods of time. This rust can reach deep into the stone, making it more likely to break.[21]⧼thumbs_response⧽
