Hematite:

The name ‘haematite’ is derived from the Latin ‘haematites’, meaning ‘blood’.
Haematite has a long history of use. It has been used to make pigments and jewellery since ancient times.
In ancient Egypt, it was believed that haematite could cure blood-related illnesses.
Haematite is mainly composed of iron oxide. It forms in a variety of geological environments.
It is generally silver-grey to black in colour, but can take on reddish-brown hues.
It may have a metallic lustre and a glossy surface. Haematite crystals are often silvery and shiny.
Nowadays, it is one of the minerals most commonly used in the manufacture of metal alloys such as steel.
The main deposits of haematite are found in Brazil, France, Italy, China and Russia

Garnet:

The word ‘garnet’ derives from the Latin ‘granatium’, meaning pomegranate, a bright red fruit.
Garnets form a family of minerals comprising several varieties that share a similar crystalline structure.
They come in a wide range of colours: green, red, orange, pink, yellow, brown, black…
Our tumbled stones are almandine garnet.
Almandine garnet is characterised by its deep, intense red to reddish-brown colour, which is due to the presence of iron in its composition.
Garnets are often transparent to translucent. Their hardness and transparency make them ideal stones for jewellery.
The main garnet deposits are found in Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, Africa, Australia and Russia

Amethyst:

Amethyst is a variety of quartz known for its violet colour, which can range from pale violet to deep violet.
Its violet colour results from exposure to natural radiation and the presence of iron.
The name ‘amethyst’ derives from the Ancient Greek ‘amethystos’, meaning ‘sober’. The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst had the power to prevent drunkenness and loss of control.
According to legend, the nymph named Amethystos, in order to escape the advances of Bacchus, was transformed into a white stone statue by the goddess Artemis.
Bacchus, furious, poured wine over the statue, but every drop of wine that touched the young woman stained the stone purple.
Thus associated with sobriety, the ancient Greeks and Romans wore amethyst jewellery and used cups made of this stone to drink wine, believing that this would protect them from excess.
This belief in amethyst’s ability to act as an antidote to alcohol has endured. Even today, amethyst is associated with clarity of mind.
It is also a stone associated with royalty and was set in the jewellery of the aristocracy; it still adorns the Crown of England today.
The main amethyst deposits are found in Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, Zambia and India.
