Hematite used to be ground to powder to stop bleeding 
especially in hemophiliacs,in medieval times up to the last 
century. Hematite amulets were also popular and mentioned in 
Pliny's "naturalis historia" We also have rare hematite scarab 
>from  circa 800 B.C. Egyptian, which were used also as amulets 
we hear even though this is the first one we've seen from this 
period.
