Hematite is stone that looks like dried blood, until it's polished, and then it becomes a soft, shiny gray color. You can usually find it in lapidary or stone shops. It's not expensive -- I see it all the time in tourist type stores that have the little bags you can fill with the tumbled rocks. Red tiger's eye -- same thing. You may want to look in the phone book and see if you have a "New Age" type store locally. Last time I looked, the stones cost about 50 cents apiece.
Hematite consists of iron oxide.The word Hema-tite comes from the Greek word hema-ΑΙΜΑ-which means blood because of the red colour
