Hematite Tortoise

A tortoise figurine carved out of the crystal hematite.

In Chinese mythology, while the Crane is believed to be able to live at least one thousand years feeding only on water, the Tortoise is even more impressive; it can survive three times longer than that! It is for this reason that it is a popular symbol of longevity, and is highly demanded by many who wish to live long healthy lives. The term 'age of tortoise' is used in Chinese cultureto mean the longevity of a human being. The Tortoise is also a feng shui representation of protection and immunity to bad intentions.

The tortoise, being one of the four celestial animals (among the Dragon, Phoenix and Tiger), is much revered by the Chinese and Feng Shui followers as a creator of solidity, sustenance and perseverance. As an essential item in landscape Feng Shui, those who display a Tortoise in the North sector of their home or office will reap the many rewards that this celestial creature has to offer.

Hematite is a stone of harmony, unifying the spirit, body and mind. In ancient Egypt, it was used to generate the production of blood cells in those who were terminally ill. Since then, it has become strongly recommended by those who heal with crystals, as it is believed to benefit the blood flow by increasing iron and optimizing oxygen intake.

However, it is not solely used for blood benefits; for those who suffer from short concentration, low self-esteem and slow learning, this stone is said to help construct creativity and increase intelligence. In addition to this, Hematite has the ability to cleanse the mind and reduce irritations, stress and negative energy.
