Hematite Oval 6x9mm

$335 $559

SKU: 36ST403

Man-made hematite in a smooth 6x9mm oval, this bead delivers the weighty, metallic-grey presence hematite is known for without the brittleness of the natural stone.

The oxide hematite finish gives the surface a dark, mirror-like sheen with cool grey tones that read almost purple in certain light — moody and distinctly dramatic.

What to make with them

The oval shape works beautifully as a focal spacer in strung necklaces and bracelets, and pairs well with wire-wrapping techniques where the smooth surface lets the metal work take center stage alongside the bead.

Description

Hematite is an iron ore highly popular in bead and jewelry designs. Nearly all Hematite beads on the market are man made materials (ours too), but are still an iron ore and have the same chemical make up as natural hematite. The name Hematite stems from the Greek word "Haem" for blood as natural hematite holds a reddish tint, while commercially available hematite beads do not. Hematite has been used for eons, even by pre-historic man for cave paintings. Man Made Hematite is often magnetized and used in magnetic therapy jewelry. Hematite beads loook awesome when paired with the fiery facets of crystal or fire polished beads.
