    "description": "Solomon (the Holy Rider) spearing Lillith, the she-demon, is carved on this magical gem. Throughout the Middle Ages, certain gems were believed to have specific curative or protective properties. Hematite (\"bloodstone\") was thought to stop the flow of blood, especially during pregnancy, suggesting that this gem was carved for medicinal purposes.",
