Hematite Platonic Solids Set – 5 Pieces
Product Description
This five-piece Hematite Platonic Solids Set combines dark metallic-grey stone with five classic geometric forms. Polished faces catch the light, highlighting the angular shapes and subtle surface markings of each piece.
The set includes a tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. Display the five forms together, explore their geometry or incorporate them into meditation and crystal grids.
Composition & Formation
Hematite, also spelt haematite, is an iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe₂O₃. It occurs in several geological environments and can range from earthy red material to steel-grey specimens with a metallic lustre.
The shapes in this set are carved and polished. They represent the five Platonic solids rather than hematite’s natural crystal habit.

Metaphysical Properties — Traditional Associations
In crystal traditions, Hematite is associated with grounding, steadiness and focused intention. It is often used during meditation as a symbolic reminder to remain present and approach everyday tasks with a practical mindset.
The Platonic solids are used in sacred geometry practices to represent the elements. These associations are spiritual interpretations rather than scientifically established effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hematite Platonic Solids Set?
It is a collection of five geometric forms carved from material sold as hematite: a tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron.
What are Platonic solids?
Platonic solids are the five regular convex polyhedra. Each has identical regular polygon faces, with the same number of faces meeting at every vertex.
Are these naturally formed crystal shapes?
No. These geometric forms are carved and polished rather than naturally grown hematite crystals.
What can I use the set for?
Use it for decorative display, exploring geometry, meditation or arranging crystal grids.
Will every set look identical?
The five shapes remain the same, but surface markings, polish and colour tone may vary between sets.
Please Note
Surface texture, markings and finish may vary between pieces. We will intuitively choose a piece from our collection just for you. For this product, your selection comprises one complete five-piece set.
