Description
Crystal Type & Species:
This listing features a natural Specular Haematite (also known as Specularite) healing crystal — a stunning form of hematite known for its shimmering, metallic luster. This glittering crystal surface reflects light beautifully, making it not only energetically grounding but also visually striking for collectors and metaphysical users alike.
Geological Formation & Insight:
Specular Haematite is a variety of hematite (Fe₂O₃), an iron oxide mineral that typically forms in banded iron formations, hydrothermal veins, and metamorphic rocks. Specularite distinguishes itself by forming thin, silvery, reflective platelets that create a dazzling, mirror-like sheen — often described as “sparkling” or “specular.”
The most well-known deposits of Specular Haematite are found in the Lake Superior region of Michigan (USA), Brazil, and certain parts of South Africa. These regions provide the ideal conditions for iron-rich fluids to cool and crystallise slowly, producing layered or radiating hematite structures with spectacular metallic brilliance.
In the metaphysical community, Specular Haematite is deeply connected to the root chakra, providing grounding, protection, and mental clarity. It is often used for energy balancing, shielding, and enhancing focus.
