Hematoid Quartz contains both the amplification properties of Quartz with the balance and stability of Hematite.  It is a highly energetic piece that can assist not only in removing negativity but also transforming and transmuting this energy into a positive and pure Universal light of love.

The combination of Quartz and Hematite balances the body, mind and spirit.  It brings a unique clarity and understanding to the emotions, helping to understand the difference between an unconscious reaction and a conscious response.  Hematoid Quartz also assists when Self Worth and Self Esteem are lacking.

Hematoid Quartz enhances focus and concentration and would be especially helpful for those with ADD and ADHD.  Those with short attention spans or have trouble completing projects would benefit from holding or carrying Hematoid Quartz.   Use Hematoid Quartz for grounding and balance when feeling scattered. It can also be used to calm anxieties, panic and/or hysteria.

Physically, Hematoid Quartz can be used in the treatment of blood disorders, to balance the chakras, boost the immune system, stimulate healing, strengthen liver and kidney functions, and cleanse toxins.
