Skinny Band Hematite Rings

First, what is Hematite? Hematite, also spelled haematite, is a hard and heavy oxide mineral, ferric oxide (Fe2O3). As you might guess from the name that sounds like the protein found in blood that carries oxygen (hemoglobin) it has a high iron content. Hematite came out of the Greek word for “blood.” While hematite can have red streaks or be reddish brown, it’s versatile and can be gray, or black also.
