Hematite stud earrings. 925 Silver plated. 
Hematite’s name is derived from the Greek word haima, meaning blood. This stone is known for connecting the body to the Earth. Many warriors, including ancient Greeks, Romans, and Native Americans, used crushed Hematite on their bodies to create a red paint-like appearance thought to keep them safe in battle. Hematite was believed to make a warrior invulnerable and give them courage and strength. 
Hematite was also used for medicinal purposes in ancient times. It was recommended for treating inflammation because of its iron oxide properties.
