"Justice and Blood"
[July 2022]
Wherever blind Justice appears,
the scale in her hand gleams
with a weighty metallic gray.
It is made from hematite,
for grounding and concentration,
but also a hidden reminder:
when cut, the stone bleeds
with a sudden punch of red.

Notes:
Hematite is an iron-based mineral associated with grounding and justice. When solid, it is metallic gray; but when cut or powdered, it shows the red.
