2. Hematite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematite

   Hematite (/ ˈ h iː m ə ˌ t aɪ t, ˈ h ɛ m ə-/), also spelled as haematite, is a common iron oxide compound with the formula, Fe 2 O 3 and is widely found in rocks and soils. [6] Hematite crystals belong to the rhombohedral lattice system which is designated the alpha polymorph of Fe 2 O 3. It has the same crystal structure as corundum ...

3. Magnet therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_therapy

   Magnetic therapy is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine practice involving the weak static magnetic field produced by a permanent magnet which is placed on the body. It is similar to the alternative medicine practice of electromagnetic therapy, which uses a magnetic field generated by an electrically powered device. [1]

4. Heliotrope (mineral) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliotrope_(mineral)

   The "classic" bloodstone is translucent to opaque green chalcedony and red jasper that contains inclusions of hematite. The red jasper may resemble spots of blood , hence the name bloodstone . Other colors of chalcedony may also occur in Indian bloodstone, such as white, yellow, or blue.

5. Hematine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematine

   Hematine ring. Hematine (also magnetic hematite, hemalyke or hemalike) is an artificial magnetic material. [1] Hematine is widely used in jewelry. [citation needed]Although it is claimed by many that it is made from ground hematite or iron oxide mixed with a resin, analysis (of one object) has demonstrated it to be an entirely artificial compound, a barium-strontium ferrite.

6. Lapidary (text) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapidary_(text)

   The Lapidary De Materia Medica provided descriptions of the medicinal applications of hematite and calamine. For example, hematite effectively treated afflictions of the eye, scabs, and mother's milk production. Calamine was related to the healing of ulcers by applying it as an external plaster. [14]

7. Magnetite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

   Magnetite has been important in understanding the conditions under which rocks form. Magnetite reacts with oxygen to produce hematite, and the mineral pair forms a buffer that can control how oxidizing its environment is (the oxygen fugacity). This buffer is known as the hematite-magnetite or HM buffer.
