Hematite derives its name from the Greek word haem ( blood ) in allusion to its red color. Hematite is a silvery, shiny opaque stone that almost looks like metal. Hematite is heavy and relatively hard oxide mineral, that constitutes the most important iron ore because of its high iron content (70 percent) and its abundance. Especially good specimens of hematite come from England, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and the Lake Superior region of the United States and Canada. Since polished hematite is considered by many to be a gemstone, it has been used in jewelry over the course of the last 50 years in North America, especially in the western United States. Its use in jewelry reached a height in Europe in Victorian times when it was very popular. Hematite can be found used in jewelry and art created by the Native Americans.
