Frog Necklace 1.25 in Black Hematite Stone Gem Gemstone

Hematite is a silvery, shiny, opaque black gemstone that almost looks like metal. It was used in seals as early as 2500 B.C. Roman warriors used it as protection during battles, and Native Americans used it to make red face paint. Until recently cosmetic blush contained ground hematite.

Hematite gets its name from the Greek Haimo for "blood", because of the color of its powder (hence the red streak it leaves).

I have 2 of these and though they are unique because they are hand carved, they are very similar. I will choose for you.

The frog represents healing, cleansing, health, and honesty. In myths they are bringers of rain or thunder, calling the water down with their croaking. In Ancient China toads were a symbol of longevity, and they were associated with Liu Hai, the God of wealth. In Rome, the frog was believed to bring good luck to the home.
