What is Hematite?
Hematite is iron oxide, the main ore of iron. Polished, it is silvery-black and mirror-like; scratched or powdered, it is blood-red, which gave it its name. It is noticeably heavy in the hand.
Most shiny magnetic "hematite" beads on the market are a man-made material (hematine). We sell natural hematite and label magnetic beads as such.
