This necklace is made up of 21 Faceted Hematite Beads that are magnetic. This is set on a long silver plated chain of approximately 22" (56cm), but can be changed to a black chain if preferred at no extra cost. (A Facet is simply a design cut into the stone to make it more aesthetic and sparkle.
WHY USE MAGNETIC HEMATITE?
Therapists claim they can cure disorders and the magnetism relieves pain and stress, especially if the bracelet is worn on the area of reflexive points. It's also said to protect from harmful radiation caused from every-days appliances like microwave ovens, mobile phones and televisions.
WHAT IS HEMATITE?
Hematite is an iron-based mineral that's actually chemically the same as common rust, according to crystal expert Yulia Van Doren of goldirocks. It's originally a rusty-red color, gets its distinctive metallic gray sheen when polished, and is found in Brazil, Canada, England, the U.S., Venezuela, and more
WHAT IS IT'S HEALING PROPERTIES?
"Hematite's name literally means 'blood stone,' as it comes from the Greek word for blood, haima," Van Doren says, adding that it's long been revered by many cultures for protection. "Roman and Native American warriors would paint themselves blood-red with powdered hematite for protection in battle," she tells mbg.
As crystal expert Heather Askinosie notes, this stone can sometimes be seen with red streaks running through its surface and is known for connecting the body to the Earth. "Hematite was believed to make warriors invulnerable and give them courage and strength," she notes, adding, that during the Paleolithic era, early humans created cave paintings with the red pigment from ground-up hematite.
Of all its properties, hematite is probably most well known as a grounding stone, with strong associations to the root chakra. As Askinosie tells mbg, hematite can help ground the mind, body, and spirit, thanks to its connection to nature and Mother Earth.
"When you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you, hematite can help you get back on your feet again," she adds.
Along with supporting feelings of grounding, hematite also encourages mindfulness. It's actually often magnetic, which Askinosie says further boosts its connection to the Earth. This sense of being rooted in stillness will help bring you back to the present moment, she notes, adding, "Working with hematite teaches you to be in control of your mental and emotional states, even in unsettling situations."
As aforementioned, Van Doren and Askinosie both note hematite has protective properties and has been used as such for centuries. Simply having some nearby can help absorb negative energy, leaving you more secure.
"For those times when you feel like you just can't find your foundation, hematite will be there to support you," Askinosie says, adding, "Its grounding energy is there to help you feel safe, centered, and secure no matter where you are or what you are confronting."
HOW TO USE HEMATITE
One of the easiest ways to work with any crystal is to simply keep it on you throughout the day. Van Doren explains that it's great to have on you when you need to stay balanced and level-headed: "Keep a small polished hematite in your pocket to recharge and rebalance during your daily activities, or tuck it into your chair for continuous grounding during your workday," she tells mbg, adding that wearing it as jewelry is also an easy (and beautiful) way to keep its energy around you.
If you're a fan of spiritual baths—or any kind of bath, for that matter—Van Doren says adding some hematite to your next bath by your feet will help you re-center and relax at the end of a long day. (Here's our full guide to spiritual baths for some inspiration to get started!)
