It does not put the stone down until it is inside the nest; there the stone remains until the eagle's young have grown up. This stone has another stone within it: for this reason it is of benefit to pregant women; likewise at childbirth. It should be worn on the left side. It prevents drunkenness; it increases wealth; it bestows love and victory; it keeps young children healthy; and it takes away epilepsy.

It scares harmful birds away from seeded ground; it repels storms; it banishes quarrels; and it keeps you safe safe. Placed in the sun, it gives out light like fire; It is better worn on the left.
Hematite gets its name from blood. Powdered and mixed with the white of egg, it is good for roughness of the eyelids. Ground and mixed with water, it helps anyone who spits blood.
