Historical and Traditional:

* The origin of hematite appears to literally be extraterrestrial in nature. Scientists have found that hematite exists in abundant quantities on Mars, which is what gives the Martian rocks their characteristic red color and makes the planet appear red at night. The nickname Red Planet for Mars is derived from this fact, which occurs due to hematite.

* For thousands of years Hematite has been clearly linked to blood. It was applied in both the delivery of babies and in the battlefield to stop the flow of blood.

* Since ancient times it has been worn it as a talisman against evil spells and to help keep their life energies grounded.

* Known in ancient times as “the Stone of Miracles”

* It was observed by several ancient cultures that the heavenly bodies exerted a specific influence upon certain gemstones such as hematite. With this understanding, they made amulets and talismans out of it, which when worn could harness the influence of these celestial bodies to achieve specific goals.

* Ancient cultures observed that hematite prevented a person from passing out after excessive blood loss in battle.

* Native Americans used hematite powder as a paint for the body in war

Safety and Care Information:

Caution: Natural hematite may contain a very small magnetic charge so check with your doctor first if you wear a pacemaker

Additional Notes:

* The name hematite comes from the Greek word for blood because of the red hue seen in its powder.

* Hematite has a wide variety of colors, but the most common are red, black and silver. It has a metallic luster and a red, brown or black streak.

* Hematite is said to make a powerful combination with green tourmaline

*** Hematine known to many as Hematite is actually a manmade variant of natural Hematite. A lot of the Hematite available on the is the manmade variant Hematine. Hematine is highly magnetic, whereas hematite is less. Hematine is a recent trade term for a synthetic replicate and is also known by some as magnetic hematite, pseudomorphous after magnetite. Although it is claimed by many that it is made from ground hematite or iron oxide mixed with a resin, analysis has proven it to be an entirely artificial compound composed of a barium-strontium-ferrite. Hematine is virtually identical to Hematite when looked at and only the magnetic properties of hematine can distinguish the two. Although hold a magnet up to hematite, and it will be lightly drawn to it, but it is not clearly magnetic in itself like hematine which displays strong magnetic properties. In this way hematite and hematine are said to be easy to tell apart.

Many who are sensitive to the energetic composition of crystals and gemstones can clearly see it has a unique energy composition and an unfolding list of beneficial effects that become clearer and clearer as time goes on. Because it contains azurite, many properties can be seen that are identical.

* K2 gemstone is a granite-based stone with spots of azurite mixed through it. When examined it also contains feldspar minerals with black flakes of biotite. The white granite is very fine grained and is a composite of quartz, plagioclase, muscovite and biotite. Many doubt that the blue in K2 is actually azurite but it has been proven https://www.mindat.org/mesg-304299.html

* Although it is commonly marketed as K2 Jasper, it is definitely not a Jasper stone.

* K2 has a hardness of 6 but Even though the azurite in K2 is about a 3.5 or 4 hardness, The overall stone carries a hardness score of 6 which suggests it can be safely washed in water. One Origin Starseed has yet to test this ourselves however.

While you can leave your piece of selenite in direct sunlight for a short time, long exposure to the rays of the sun can also greatly damage the crystal by making it look dull, faded, and lacking its bright white shine.

Additional Notes:

* Selenite is said to never need energetic cleansing but there are some who disagree. Safe methods include a Tibetan singing bowl, smudging and brief contact with sun.

* Healers encourage a powerful process where the person lies down with a selenite wand in the center of the chest to correct the energy imbalances of the individual

* White is the most common color of selenite, but it is present in various colors such as gold, peach, and pink.

Historical and Traditional:

* In 1714, Peter the Great founded a copper-smelting industry. There is a legend how one employee, suffering from a serious disease, discovered in Revboloty, where ore was sourced for the industry, a spring of water which regained his full health in three days. These rumors came to the ears of Czar Peter, who gave the order to carry out investigations. Water that sprang from shungite deposits proved to be a powerful instrument for healing from anemia, hydropsy, liver disease and many other diseases. Ordinary people began to be treated in all sorts of diseases. Relief was found usually during 2 to 3 weeks of treatment.

Peter, whose health was not strong, tried the water and gave the order to build a spa close to the source. It became the first medical institution in Russia's history called “Martsialniye Vody "- in honor of the god of war particularly since Peter’s sick and wounded soldiers got effective treatment there. A variety of diseases were treated there but mainly hypochondria, bile tract disease, gastrointestinal dysfunction, vomiting, constipation, kidney stones (with sand or small stones), epilepsy, and water was also used to drive out intestinal worms. Peter the Great told all his soldiers to carry a piece of shungite (also known at that time as aspidian stone) in their backpacks. By placing a shungite piece in water-filled vessels soldiers got fresh and clean water. There are many historical records which indicate that the Emperor has issued a special order (ukazs) with such prescriptions. Historical sources also tell us about the battle of Poltaava in the hot summer of 1709 when the Russians, who drank their shungite water, were victorious, but the Swedish army suffered from an epidemic of dysentery, including the king himself. (Quoted from http://www.sisemiserahutempel.eu/Shungite )

* The word Shungite, was originally used in 1879 to describe a mineraloid with more than 98 per cent carbon.

Safety and Care Information:

* Be aware that Shungite can leave black residue on things from time to time if it has not been used much yet

* Remember it is strongly advisable that if making Shungite water with your stones, either change, cleanse and recharge your stones about once a month to maintain the water purification properties of the stones.

* Although it is safe to wear Shungite daily, don’t overdo the consumption of Shungite water and have a break from time to time. One glass a day is enough on average unless treating a more complicated medical condition.

Additional Notes:

* The slow processes of petrification and the environmental conditions have created its magic natural ingredient called fullerenes. Fullerenes are hollow crystalline formations of carbon molecules. Shungite is the only known natural of C60 and C70 fullerenes.

* There are two main types of shungite you can find on the market: Elite (noble) and regular Shungite. The main difference between them is the amount of organic carbon the stones contain. Elite Shungite contains over 90% of pure carbon and it is said to have much more powerful healing energy. It has a silvery metallic appearance and is lighter than regular Shungite.

* Because Elite Shungite has such a high percentage of carbon, it makes it extremely fragile. Therefore, it is usually found in its natural shape and not as often carved into beads or other shapes like regular Shungite is.

* Regular Shungite which is usually identified by its black color, contains 30-50% carbon comparatively.

* Please note that the majority of health benefits noted about Shungite comes from consuming Shungite water. The stone itself also has healing, protective, anti-emf and grounding properties as well though that are found through just wearing the stone and not consuming it.

* Shungite should be cleansed in direct sunlight every couple of weeks to clear it of any buildups and keep its water cleansing potency strong. Also soak it in a liter of water for several hours with a few drops of lemon or lime essential oil to release and cleanse its toxic buildup. The stones should be replaced for fresh ones

* Turns water into a powerful antioxidant

* To make Shungite water, soak 150 to 200 grams of regular Shungite or 50 to 70 grams of elite Shungite per one liter of water and let it soak for 24 to 48 hours

* Depending on the time that you spend filtering your water with Shungite stones, you will have either acidic water with 5,5 pH level (at the first stage of filtration) or alkaline water with 7,5 pH level (after a longer time of filtration). Each of them has its own benefits, like acidic water is able to treat skin-related disorders, headaches and diseases of respiratory system while alkaline water is much more helpful in strengthening of the immune system and improving your metabolism and so on.

* If added to soil, it will deoxidize it and improve its physical characteristics which will speed up a seeds germination and increase the productivity of the land. It will also reduce the need for copious irrigation during droughts

* Will purify a glass of water if soaked in it overnight

* Will turn a glass of water into a tonic health drink for the body if soaked overnight

* Shungite powder can be used as a fertilizer and will neutralize dangerous chemicals in the soil.

* Please remember this is all for information purposes only. We make no claims or promises. Please check the web for more detailed information about the use of Shungite water.

* If fresh vegetables and fruit and put on Shungite for an hour it will keep it fresh for the maximum possible amount of time and prevents vitamin and mineral loss

* Shungite has to date mainly been found in Russia. The main deposit is in the Lake Onega area of Karelia, at Zazhoginskoye, near Shunga, with another occurrence at Vozhmozero.

* Shungite is said to contain virtually all the minerals in the periodic table.

* Since Shungite is mostly carbon, the question by many is what the difference is between Shungite and coal or petroleum? The answer is in the amount of time each took in their formation. Coal and petroleum formed between 300 and 500 million years ago opposed to Shungite's formation which was TWO BILLION years ago. This makes coal and petroleum very new in comparison.
