Crystal Clear  by Mihos   Hematite I’ve found hematite useful for grounding out negative energy and encouraging calmness. It’s so effective that it works even if I forgot I’m carrying a stone in my pocket or wearing the pendant. I find it much more effective than any “worry stone” or object that I must actively manipulate. I give it credence as a talisman when traveling: I’ve not suffered motion sickness for many years.
