Hematite Tumble

Hematite is heavier than it looks, a dense, metallic grey-black that feels almost cold the first second you pick it up. It's the stone for days your thoughts are scattered across a dozen tabs and none of them are finishing, when you need something to pull your attention back into your body instead of your head. Hold it in a closed fist for a minute before a task that needs focus, or keep it in a pocket on a day that feels like it's floating without anywhere solid to land. It's an iron oxide mineral, and that weight comes from a naturally high iron content, dense enough that it feels bigger than its actual size suggests. Scratched against an unglazed surface, it leaves a reddish streak, a reminder of the iron underneath the metallic shine. This one is polished into a smooth, rounded tumble. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you.
