My Hematite had Babies

[Mithrea]

So I'm cleaning this weekend and after I sent some Hematite to another member, it kind of got away from me and got all over the house. Their are hematite stones in places where dust bunnies usually reside in my house.

This weekend I was cleaning and I noticed something very strange. :lol: The stones I had are all sort of big stones. They are about 1-2" big in diameter. Now suddenly, I have about 25 really small stones lurking everywhere too. I don't know where they came from! They are perfectly round and not broken, yet I know I didn't have them before.

What is up with that? :D :huh: :lol:

:woah: Hematite faeries, perhaps?

Wow, I've heard that Hematite will break when it's absorbed enough stress to overload it, but you're saying that it's not broken, so I dunno....

It's a hint from the universe or the gods to make your own set of rune stones? :lol: Mine are made from small round hematite stones.

Hematite is beautiful and I'm sure that your runes are also. How do they work for you? I've been told that hematite is not a good stone for meditation or divination since it is a grounding stone, and you might not want to be grounded when practicing either.

Hey Mith, have you named the babies yet? :lol:

That's too cool--maybe they knew of the stress and worry you've had lately and came to help out! :smooch:

[Mistiblue]

Oh how COOL! :nonono: :boing:
I wish mine would have babies. :colorful:

Well, that's a first! Usually at my house something has "disappeared"...I don't think I ever heard of the mysteriously reproducing hematites though..curious and curiouser....

[mol]

Uhh. Rocks reproduce?

[WtchyChick13]

Uhh. Rocks reproduce?


Only when "unprotected." :rotfl:

Frisky little buggars. Maybe they are teenage hematites. . . :geez:

[Cev'aq]

How sweet! One big hematite family...

[mol]

You guys are scaring me.

We aim to please! :D

They work wonderfully for me. I love them and I've been using them for almost three years. I never have to cleanse them because they keep themselves grounded and cleansed. I work better with "slower" more earthy stones as they match my own energy better. I know that some people have trouble working with hematite or even handling it, so I recently made another set from polished river rocks so they can draw their own stones from the bag.

Oh, and I'm such a skeptic that I don't usually believe things like that until I try it out for myself. Everyone is different and different things work differently for different people, eh?

It is possible that the original stone was a lodestone and not hematite. But I don't know if a shattered lodestone would appear perfectly round.
Are the tiny stones any bit magnetic?

Nah, they are definitely hematite. :)

According to "tradition" faeries don't like hematite because it is raw iron ore, however somebody keeps rearringing the hematite on my altar into funny circles and shapes!
