Specular Hematite | Stone Information, Healing Properties, Uses

Specular Hematite, also known as Specularite, is a variety of Hematite with sparkling  aggregates of silvery, metallic Mica inclusions. The word “specular” directly translates to ‘mirror-like’, referring to the silvery and reflective nature of the Specular Hematite. The shiny flakes of mica within this stone creates a druze-like luster on the surface. It is a stone of medium hardness, being a 6-7 on the Mohs scale. 


Specular Hematite is most commonly found in Russia, England, Canada, Brazil and India. These specific cultures have been utilizing the energetic qualities of Specular Hematite for thousands of years, using it as amulets or talismans of protection. The true origin of Specular Hematite is unknown but it is believed that it was first discovered in Europe around 1620 and was then named by Pierre Sonnerat, a French geologist who then began to collect the newly discovered stone!   


Energetically, Specular Hematite has all of the same properties as Hematite along with the metaphysical energies of the secondary minerals within it. Hematite is a high vibration stone that is well known for its protecting and grounding qualities. Its grounding energies are thought to help us to stay focused in the present moment and can encourage a positive attitude towards life. This stone is also said to stimulate creativity and cultivate the motivation to move forward your desired endeavors. 


Specular Hematite is associated with the Root and Crown Chakras. It can help clear blockages from the root chakra, boosting persistence, confidence and determination and dispelling any thoughts of negativity or fear. Specular Hematite also connects to the crown chakra, working to synchronize your thoughts and clearing any negative thoughts that may be clouding your judgment. When your crown chakra is clear of any blockages it is said to help enable the acquisition of higher wisdom and knowledge.
