Hematite stone, healing and magical properties of hematite

Mysterious hematite is a stone surrounded by superstitions and legends since ancient times. He was credited with a connection with human blood. Used to draw a magic circle to avoid attacks from dark forces. According to Hellas legends, Perseus's shield was made of polished hematite. With his help, Medusa the Gorgon was defeated.

In 2004, hematite was discovered on Mars. Perhaps it is this that gives the planet its red tint. Hematite is the stone of warriors, Mars is the ancient Roman god of war. Is this a coincidence?

Hematite stimulates sexual energy and increases attractiveness in the eyes of the opposite sex. Has a hemostatic effect. Magicians consider him one of the most powerful talismans. Even in Tibet, the stone is worn to protect against the evil eye and damage.

History and origin

Christians believe that the red spots in the mineral are Christ's blood. The theory became widespread, and God's faces began to be made from bloodstone all over the world. They try to use specimens so that the bright zones fall on the hair of the sacred image.

The mineral’s ability to color water reddish is revered as a sign of magical qualities. This suggested the stone's ability to perform magic. They began to make amulets from it. In Tibet they believe that the breed protects its owner from damage. Women receive a special blessing. The Egyptians use hematite to decorate scarab beetles. Amulets made from it protect the owner from harm.

The significance of hematite is great for authentic American history. The Aborigines used the rock ground into powder to dye their bodies. The pigment was used to paint the skin to start the war. They believed that this gave special strength and made a person braver. Roman warriors had a similar opinion, so they always carried figurines of gods made of mineral with them.

An ancient story goes that a red stone is discovered where much blood has previously been shed. They looked for him on the battlefields, in places of sacrifice. Priests who participated in ceremonies of bringing gifts to the gods always wore rings decorated with the mineral, which protected them. It is known that cave paintings are filled with hematite.

Iron buds are used in jewelry

In antiquity, mirrors were made from iron pearls. The Slavs believed that a child needed a stone amulet to protect him from evil. In the Middle Ages, people believed that objects took away a person's soul. Scientists claimed that the rock turned red when in contact with methane, so it was used to make buttons for miners' suits. Since the 18th century, mourning decor has been produced from the material. At the end of the 20th century, the rock’s ability to stabilize pressure was discovered.

The modern name was invented by Theophrastus, a Greek scientist. The Egyptians called the unusually colored mineral the stone of Isis. Red, black stone means:

• iron mica;
• mirror ore;
• a diamond from Alaska;
• black pearls;
• iron rose;
• black diamond;
• iron shine;
• martite;
• iron sour cream;
• iron eye;
• kidney ore;
• specularite;
• iron kidney;
• red iron ore.

Origin

The origin of magnetite is quite common. The mineral is formed as a result of the interaction of granite, diorite and syenite rocks. It is present in such rocks in the form of homogeneous or disseminated masses. This origin is important for industry.

Deposits of this stone have an acidic or neutral environment and arise as a result of the dissolution of igneous rocks. The origins of the stone are formed by different rocks. Magnetite is often localized in pyroxenites and gabbros. The mineral looks like sheet deposits or individual inclusions in other minerals.

The rock is formed by metamorphism of ferruginous compounds localized on the surface. Magnetite and hematite are formed in the middle zones.

It occurs in the form of heterogeneous deposits on surface layers. In the presence of sulfide compounds, the stone is transformed into hematite or limonite. After the destruction of the rock, sulfuric acid is formed in magnetites, the environment of which provokes the processes of destruction of magnetite.

Physicochemical characteristics

Previously, people believed that the stone was solidified blood. Origin – metamorphism. Many samples were found in clay deposits and volcanic craters. Appear during prolonged interaction of limestone and granite.

Main parameters:

• simple oxide;
• corundum group;
• shades from reddish to black;
• matte metallic shine;
• hardness up to 6.5;
• fragility;
• lack of cleavage;
• transparency of a thin plate;
• density up to 5.3;
• trigonal system;
• weak pleochroism;
• semi-conchoidal fracture;
• melting at 1565 degrees.

Found in small crystals, large formations, massive objects. The stone is dull, sometimes steel-gray, but on an internal reflex it turns into bright red. Known by many names as it occurs in different forms. Sometimes prismatic specimens are found. Isometric and tabular crystals are common.

Kidney ore is one of the most common minerals

Formula

Magnetite is a mineral found in iron ore. Magnetite can be described by a chemical formula, like any other natural object. Chemical formula: FeO×Fe2O3. This mineral is localized in various formations and can be metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary.

The crystal shape is octahedral, which arises due to the metallic bond between different types of iron cations. Thanks to this feature, it is able to form a magnetic field and attract iron. Chemical properties are weakly expressed.

Mineral deposits

Iron mica is found throughout the planet. Known deposits:

• Russian;
• American;
• Swiss;
• Brazilian;
• Italian;
• Ukrainian.

Iron pearls are mined all over the world

A particularly valuable species, the “iron rose,” is found in abundance in Switzerland. Samples in the form of bunches were found in the Czech Republic and England. Large unusual crystals are mined in Africa, South America, and southern Europe. Many vents are located near hydrothermal vents. Unusual specimens are mined in Alaska - they are beautiful, but covered with cracks and cannot be processed.

In 2004, bloodstone outcrops were discovered on Mars. They are believed to explain the color of the planet.

Mining locations

The largest volume of deposits is located in Russia and Brazil. Mining is also carried out in the USA, Canada, India and other countries in small quantities.

The largest field in area is the Kursk magnetic anomaly, stretching from the Smolensk to Rostov regions. The reserves of this place are several times greater than all other deposits together.

Popular deposits are in the Urals, Kruglogorsk, Kusinsk and Pervouralsk. A new place of deposits was recently discovered in the Urals - Maly Kuybas, which is located near the city of Magnitogorsk.

In Kazakhstan, a large deposit is the basin of the Kustanai region. The volume of magnetite here exceeds the deposits in the Urals.

Types and colors of stone

The abundance of ancient legends about the breed is explained by its diversity. Geologists distinguish the main varieties:

• Red glass head. It is found more often than others in Europe. It has a dark red hue.
• Iron mica. The structure is scaly, the structure is crystalline, dense. The oily sheen, similar to that characteristic of iron, is attractive.
• Specularite. It is distinguished by a silvery, gray reflection. Particularly attractive in bright light. Often diluted with foreign inclusions.
• Iron Rose. The most valuable, beautiful variety. The plates form a formation resembling a flower bud. Popular in jewelry.
• Hematite. Features increased density. Painted brown. Useful in the production of cast iron.
• Martit. In former times it was called the stone of Mars. It has the qualities of a magnet, similar to magnetite. The texture is loose or dense. It is obtained by the oxidation of magnetite. 12-sided and 8-sided convex rhombuses are known. Black color.
• Hydrohematite. Consists of 8% water. Its clusters resemble tree buds.
• Red ocher. The mineral is loose, earthy, and looks like powder. Soft, includes dispersed clay. Painted red-brown.
• Iron sour cream. Properties of this hematite stone: leaf structure, rich cherry hue, soilability. When touched it is greasy and soft.

There are many varieties of bloodberry known

Hematite, hematin, hemalike...

Hematite (from Greek αιματίτης - blood stone) is a mineral from the oxide class: iron (III) oxide. Synonyms: bloodstone, red iron ore (now refers primarily to the mineral hematite ore), iron luster. Chemical formula: Fe2O3, is the main ore of the main metal of our time - iron. World iron production is about 700 million tons per year; Along with hematite, magnetite and goethite are important sources.

Hematite is a mineral with magnificent external characteristics: a beautiful shape, sparkling edges, a beautiful steel to iron-black color with that special reddish tint that clearly distinguishes hematite from similar minerals. Back in Babylon and Ancient Egypt, hematite was used in jewelry. In ancient times and the Middle Ages, it was known as a medicine that calms the blood. The modern name is first found in Theophrastus (IV century BC) and comes from the Greek “gema” - blood, which is associated with the cherry or wax-red color of the mineral powder. If you dissolve a crushed stone in water, it turns scarlet. Creating a single mass of crystal, the particles appear black.

Properties of hematite

The properties of a mineral are determined by its composition and structure. The abundance of iron gives a metallic shine. Rarely, matte hematite is found. The stone is not only black, but also brown, as well as bright red.

Its strength depends on the state of aggregation of hematite. In crystals, the stone is fragile. Pieces easily break off from the mineral, and when struck, cracks form. In cryptocrystalline masses, hematite is slightly stronger.

Its hardness, on the contrary, is greater for crystals, reaching 6.5 points. In concretions (spherical hydroformation containing oxides of iron and manganese), the gem differs only by 5.5-6 points on the Mohs scale. Hematite products should be stored carefully, avoiding contact with harder and more durable stones and metals.

Due to the presence of iron, hematite is heavy. The density of the mineral is 2 points higher than the average for gems. Instead of 3 grams per cubic centimeter, the specific gravity of iron ore is almost 6

Hematite ores are the most important iron ores, the world reserves of which amount to billions of tons. Iron ore is used in addition to industry and in jewelry. They work mainly with solid masses of mineral. They are easier to process. The lack of transparency and fragility of hematite imply cutting in the form of cabochons.

Features.

1. Hematite exhibits cherry red, dark steel gray, and iron black colors.
2. The streak, regardless of color, is ALWAYS cherry red.
3. If the mineral is crushed into powder and mixed in water, it becomes dark red, scarlet like blood.
4. The mineral exhibits weak magnetic properties and is attracted by a strong magnet (natural hematite cannot be magnetized by a refrigerator magnet).

Varieties and photos of hematite

1. Iron luster is a coarse-crystalline variety of hematite, the outdated name is specularite; color black, dark steel gray.
2. Iron mica (specularite) - leafy, scaly hematite; well-defined separation in one direction; color dark steel gray, black.
3. Martite - pseudomorphs (false forms) of magnetite; crystals in the shape of octahedra, rhombic dodecahedrons; black color.
4. Red ocher (iron ocher) is an earthy, powdery red hematite; soft.
5. Iron sour cream - scaly hematite; greasy to the touch, soft, easily soiled; cherry red color.
6. Iron rose - intergrowths of plates resembling a rose.
7. Red glass head (bloodstone) is a sintered hematite with a radial-radiant structure. The color is black with a reddish tint. The surface is shiny.

Well, now comes the fun part! What is artificial hematite? What is hematine ( hematine , hemalike ( hemalyke or hemalike )

Let's start with the fact that artificial hematite is VISUALLY a complete analogue of natural one. It is widely used in costume jewelry, and the beads can be of various shapes: in the form of stars, small spheres, frames, etc. The differences begin when comparing the physicochemical properties of hematite and its artificial “brother”.

And so... Hematine - literal translation into Russian - hematite pendant (here the sellers of beads do not deceive us in any way, selling hematin under the guise of hematite, and, like true translators, provide such a translation to the buyer). Other names are man-made hematite (man-made hematite), magnetic hematite, hemalike.

Although many claim it is made of hematite or iron oxide mixed with resin, the material is a completely man-made compound - ceramic barium strontium ferrite magnet (Ba,Sr)Fe12O19. The average grain size of ceramics is 5-10 microns, and porosity is 10-15%. In addition, the magnetic field strength of this material is significantly greater than that of any hematite sample.

Hematin is a very shiny, gray man-made material. In English slang there is even an interpretation of the name of this material, namely: Hemalyke™, (Hema “look alike” - similar to hematite). Hemalyke™ is a brand name for hematin material. Hematin is easy to produce and easy to give absolutely any shape, unlike fragile hematite, because in production it is a metal-ceramic resin poured into molds.

Hematin was created in America, at a time when magnetic therapy was gaining popularity. Proponents of magnetic therapy believe that magnets placed close to the body can have several physical effects: stimulating blood flow, relieving pain, increasing joint flexibility, and other soft tissue benefits. Other proponents of magnetic therapy use it to restore the balance of bodily energies to promote holistic health.

Recommendations for storage and use of hematin specified by the manufacturer:

1. This material is extremely durable: store separately with jewelry, soft metals to prevent it from damage;
2. Do not use hematin products if you are pregnant or have electrical-medical implants such as a pacemaker or insulin pump.
3. These decorations are not intended for small children.
4. Please discontinue use if you experience irritation or inflammation. Keep hematin products away from computer hard drives, credit cards, cassette and video tapes, floppy disks and other electronic devices.
5. Hematin jewelry should not be worn near the watch battery.

Let's sum it up...

First of all, before buying hematite, you need to decide for yourself why you are buying it: is the esoteric power of a natural stone important to you, or do you need reliable, durable beads that have a presentable appearance and an unusual shape. If the choice is made, then you need to understand that when buying a natural stone, the choice of shapes and sizes will be very small and will most likely be limited to cubes, parallelepipeds, round and oval cabochons, both cut and uncut. There can be no question of any stars, disks or hearts... But, in return, you will have a natural stone with its inherent strength and energy of the Earth.

The main differences between natural hematite and hematin have already been described, but I will repeat:

1. Natural stone, regardless of its color, ALWAYS leaves a red mark on the surface, for example, on porcelain. (For reference. TRACE COLOR. This is the color of the mineral in the powder. Determined on an unglazed porcelain plate. The color of the mineral in the powder may differ from the color of the mineral itself (our hematite, for example). The color of the trait is more constant for minerals and is therefore used as an important diagnostic trait. Minerals whose hardness is higher than a porcelain plate do not give a trait.)
2. Natural stone is NOT attracted to refrigerator magnets. It has magnetic properties, but they are very weakly expressed, and they cannot be tested using homemade methods.
3. The specific gravity of hematite and hematin is almost the same, and it differs significantly from a simple non-ceramic imitation. Ceramic imitation is lightweight. To understand what you have in your hands, imagine how much a metal bolt of the same size and volume as the sample in your hand would weigh. The string of hematite and hematine beads are heavy.
4. Externally, hematite is similar to wolframite, ilmenite, cinnabar, cuprite, magnetite. It differs from cinnabar by the absence of cleavage, from cuprite by less hardness, and from the others by the red color of the line.
5. Hematite is brittle, unlike hematin.

That’s it, it seems, that’s all...

Enjoy the shopping!

Medicinal properties

In lithotherapy, the breed is used in the treatment of blood. In ancient times, it was ground into powder and sprinkled on wounds. They believed that this would stop bleeding faster and heal any damage. Men were advised to breed to improve the functioning of the reproductive system.

Lithotherapists use iron mica in the treatment of:

• abscesses;
• kidney;
• blood flow;
• blood;
• Bladder;
• endocrine system;
• prostate gland.

The breed is useful for sexually transmitted pathologies, stimulates the spleen, and soothes inflammation. Stone samples are placed on areas of the body affected by varicose veins. Pendants and bracelets are used to stabilize blood pressure. Some believe in the mineral's ability to increase blood pressure, but there is no confirmed data.

Hematite is used after surgery to stimulate healing. Weather-sensitive people wear jewelry to improve their well-being when the weather changes.

Previously, healers used bloodstone to treat:

• burns;
• fractures;
• anemia;
• hemophilia;
• hypotension.

Iron diamond is valued by lithotherapists

Recently, it has been recommended for VSD, hemorrhagic diathesis, and hematopoietic problems.

For vascular pathologies, rings and bracelets are especially useful. Pendants and necklaces stimulate blood flow. To heal wounds, the area around them is massaged with samples of bloodstone. If your blood pressure is low, you wear jewelry for the waxing moon, and if your blood pressure is high, you wear it for the waning moon. The stone is more powerful if set in silver.

Interesting Facts

Magic properties

Mirror ore is known for its magical properties. Back in the Stone Age, people used it to protect themselves from dark forces and evil spirits. Ancient Roman warriors always took a sample on a campaign in order to escape from an ambush or injury. More often, figurines depicting gods and good spirits acted as amulets.

The Slavs knew who was suitable for bloodstone (hematite), and hung stone products in children's cradles. They believed that this way the baby would not fall, would not get sick, and would avoid the evil eye.

Tibetans believe that hematite is associated with Shambhala. Stone is used to decorate sacred buildings, protecting them from unworthy visitors. Anyone who has conquered the power of the breed gets the opportunity to communicate with the spirits of those who have gone to another world. Bloodstone gives the owner the highest wisdom, the gift of clairvoyance, and reveals universal secrets. The strongest example is set in silver. Magicians use iron mica to work with planetary spirits and protect against larvae. Hindus use specimens in tantric magic.

Hematite is a difficult stone. The internal power of the breed is strong, subjugates a weak personality, and can destroy a person.

The copper-mounted specimen is useful in proscopy. It shows the future and past, health changes. Even the average person, possessing hematite, receives proscopy capabilities. A person who constantly wears a stone should pay more attention to premonitions. The power of bloodstone is explained by the frequency of occurrence - it is as if woven into the body of the planet, connecting the owner and the information field of the world.

Bloodstone is useful in proscopy

The energy is masculine. Magicians recommend iron rose jewelry for boys who want to develop masculinity, become stronger and more confident. Some esotericists believe that it is better to avoid Alaska stone until the age of 14. At an older age, it strengthens the spirit, inner strength, and masculine traits of the owner. Amulets are worn on the right.

Black diamond is suitable for meditation. It is indispensable in a set of healing crystals. The warm energy of the stone charges a person. Daily spiritual practices provide full access to the resources of the mineral. The meditation room is cleared of phones, equipment, to-do lists and other distracting items. To create a contemplative mood, candles and incense with sage are used. Concentrating on the stone, pay attention to the subtle, strong vibrations of the specimen. A comfortable position is lying on the floor, spreading your legs, placing one in each palm and on your stomach.

Talismans and amulets with bloodstone stone

Jewelry on the hands, neck, and ears is used as an amulet. Figurines are useful. Rings are most often worn on the index finger, men on the right, women on the left. Decoration will enhance the positive energy of the individual.

Products made from bloody stone give the owner courage and awaken courage. Amulets are useful for warriors. Previously, small pieces of rock were sewn into clothes and hidden in shoes. When sending a person to fight, they made a conspiracy so that he would return unharmed. They believed that the amulet would weaken the enemy.

Who is hematite suitable for?

Hematite can become a talisman and amulet for those people who suffer from blood diseases. It is recommended to wear jewelry for those who have injured any part of the body or who have any pathologies associated with the circulatory system.

It will become an anti-stress for those who often cannot cope with their feelings and independently suppress aggression and anger.

Hematite stone for zodiac signs: The mineral is especially suitable for representatives of the earth group. Geminis should not buy it, but everyone else need not worry about the consequences of purchasing such jewelry.

Hematite products tend to accumulate the energy of their owner. If a person thinks only about bad deeds, then all this will be reflected against him.

Applications of hematite

The stone has been known to all cultures for a long time. Previously, it was ground into powder and used as a dye. Bloodstone made rock paintings in Asturias and Cantabria.

The brilliance of specularite made it possible to use it as a mirror. This is how the Aztecs used it. Many North American aborigines used the mineral powder to decorate their bodies. The Egyptians used the breed in painting, and made amulets and valuables from large formations.

The stone is involved in the smelting of cast iron

Hematite ore is a material used to produce cast iron. The breed is used in tempera painting, for making floor coverings, red lead, oilcloth, and durable enamel.

Iron rose is common in the jewelry industry. The breed is inexpensive and is used to make jewelry, small inserts, and carved items. Black diamond is used in glyptics.

History of origin

The name of the mineral comes from the Greek language. There, the word “hematite” is closely associated with blood,” as evidenced by the color of the dark red line of the gem.

Bloodstone or “black diamond” is of metamorphic origin. It is formed as a result of the degeneration of minerals such as magnetite, limonite and siderite. It can occur where limestones are in contact with granites, syenites or diorites.

According to historical facts, the mineral hematite has been used since ancient times. Primitive people created and decorated with its help drawings in caves, which have survived to this day and helped us understand a lot about the life of our ancestors. The inhabitants who inhabited the territories of Egypt and Mesopotamia used the stone for their own purposes.

Later, during the Renaissance, incredible interest in stone increased. Almost all young ladies who could afford it wore jewelry made from it. For some time they forgot about it, but relatively recently the former glory and popularity returned to the mineral.

How to spot a fake

Mirror ore is a relatively inexpensive material, but it is also sometimes counterfeited. In addition, more expensive varieties are counterfeited with bloodstone. A properly processed copy resembles:

• jet;
• morion;
• obsidian;
• black flint.

To identify a fake, you need to draw a line on faience or porcelain without glaze. If a red mark remains, a blood stain is diagnosed.

To determine whether the hematite offered in a store is real, hold it up to a magnet. The sample should not be attracted.

They do simple experiments:

• heated (real rock heats up and cools down quickly);
• weighed by hand (weighs more than it seems);
• draw a line across the earthenware, checking the color.

Hematite is counterfeited with pressed iron powder, ceramics, and synthetics. It can be identified by looking through a magnifying glass: the real sample is uneven - the surface is slightly worn, with indentations.

Doubting the material, they lower the product into water. A real specimen sinks immediately, a plastic fake remains on the surface or sinks slowly.

Morion is counterfeited with hematite; the mineral is imitated with plastic

Magical influence

Wearing hematite jewelry not only has a positive effect on the physical body, but also the etheric body, relieving its owner from aggression and rash actions, and allows you to feel more confident. At the same time, the owner will be able to accumulate energy and control it, showing it the right direction.

• To protect the house from damage or the evil eye, you should place pebbles in the corners of the room, which will help protect property and those living in the house.
• It is worth noting that it will allow you to establish love relationships and strengthen family ties. To do this, it is better to purchase a ring with hematite, which you wear on the finger of your left hand. The most suitable frame will be silver.
• Thanks to its unique properties, it is ideal for meditation. In most cases, beginners find it difficult to concentrate; they are constantly loaded with a large amount of information. The stone will allow you to relax and tune in to the right mood.

Artificial hematite

Synthetic stone is similar to natural stone, but costs less. Used in jewelry and making small decorations. Jewelers use magnetic hematite.

Trade names of artificial varieties:

• hemalayk;
• hematin.

There are two types of artificial mineral

The first is made from natural material, combining it with an adhesive base and pressing in a hot environment, then cutting it.

Hematin is an American development, similar in shade and specific gravity to natural stone. It is attracted by a magnet because it is an iron oxide.

Jewelry with hematite

Almost black hematite with a pronounced shine, like metal, is most suitable for men's jewelry - a ring, cufflinks or bracelet. However, bloodstone jewelry is very popular among women.

In addition to personal impressions, it is worth thinking about the decoration in terms of its overall energy. Thus, it is believed that the square cut of the mineral helps to improve already acquired abilities , but limits the flight of imagination. Therefore, for creative people, such decoration can provoke a crisis in their work.

If you want to achieve perfection in your professional field, then it is better to choose jewelry with a stone in the form of a drop or a leaf.

The shape, streamlined on all sides (oval, round or cylindrical), removes the negativity of others from the owner and protects from the evil eye.

Important! You cannot choose a bloodstone in the form of a cross or crescent. The energy of such products provokes the emergence of diseases.

The decoration will become a magical assistant only if the energy of the stone is not interfered with by the metal of the frame.

It is even better to choose jewelry made of copper than an expensive item in gold, since it itself attracts negativity and will waste all the strength of the mineral. Silver and medical steel are also considered neutral metals, so you can safely buy bloodstone in their frame.

Hematite bracelet

Bracelets made from black hematite are made from beads of various shapes. The decoration looks laconic and quite strict, now this is a fashion trend.

Mostly, bracelets are made from black mineral , on which only natural stains of rainbow shades are allowed. Red varieties are found, but quite rarely, since they are less popular among buyers.

How to spot a fake

Common hematite is one of the cheapest minerals, so counterfeiting it is unprofitable. To be sure of the authenticity of the stone, conduct several tests.

1. Natural hematite differs in weight Dense stone is much heavier than other materials, which is especially noticeable in bracelets or beads.
2. Hematite is practically not magnetic , only when heated with coal at high temperatures. This property makes it possible to distinguish natural stone from artificial imitation made from steel and chromium with nickel. But even a professional gemologist is not always able to differentiate between them.
3. For a mineral that is not inserted into a piece of jewelry, the color of the feature can be determined. To do this, the stone is forcefully passed over earthenware or porcelain (without glaze coating) dishes. Natural hematite will leave a dark red streak .

Advice! If you don’t have suitable utensils, you can run it on paper. The line will be less pronounced, but the red tint will still remain.

How to wear and care

Black diamond is suitable for men and women. When choosing a product, tune in to it. They buy if there is a feeling of an invisible connection. For it to occur, 5 minutes of physical contact is enough. The purchased jewelry can be worn all day, but must be removed in the evening. The stone is ambitious and prefers a person who has risen high.

Tips for use:

• choose convenient specimens;
• do not wear in hot weather;
• include in everyday style;
• do not use if you have allergies;
• wear rings for vascular diseases;
• choose neck jewelry for blood flow diseases.

Hematite is appropriate for everyday wear

Easy care. The stone is fragile and must be protected from impacts and falls. It is preferable to store separately, in an individual soft case made of thick fabric. It is unacceptable to clean with chemically aggressive substances or household chemicals.

For energy cleansing, hold the item under running water for a few minutes every month.

Prices for hematite beads

The cost of accessories for making jewelry from natural stones depends on several nuances:

• Country of origin;
• Shapes and cuts;
• Hue;
• Size.

Most often, beads made of onyx, obsidian and hematite are sold in threads that consist of several dozen elements. Products are available for wholesale and retail purchase. Prices in the catalog are indicated both for one piece and for a set. You can place an order on the website or from the managers of the online store “Suntrim.ru”. They will answer questions and help in choosing products. Phone numbers are listed in the Contacts section. We will deliver any of your purchases to Krasnodar, Sevastopol, Khabarovsk, Yekaterinburg and other cities of Russia.

Compatibility with Zodiac signs and names

The breed is associated with Mars. Jewelry with it is suitable for people living under the auspices of this planet.

Black diamond is especially useful for the zodiac signs:

• Scorpion;
• Aries;
• Cancer.

Decoration helps to achieve success in the business you have started. Cancers become more confident, Scorpios take control of their feelings, Aries successfully take risks and win.

Hematite is contraindicated:

• Virgos;
• Gemini;
• Libra.

Decorations are allowed for other signs, but will not bring much benefit.

The breed patronizes the names:

• Anya (protects from self-destruction);
• Natasha (moderates pride, sensuality);
• Raisa (brings happiness);
• Petya (weaken adventurous tendencies);
• Vadim (useful in adulthood);
• Nikita (cultivates optimism).

The stone protects Scorpios

How to care

If jewelry with Hematite is worn regularly, fingerprints and dust will remain on it, which is why the stone loses its beautiful appearance and becomes dull.

The easiest way to prevent this is to place the jewelry in a small container with warm water and soap dissolved in it.

The best option for cleaning is using special products designed for jewelry.

Bloodstone is not just a stone for women, it has special healing and magical properties.

It has significance for both the physical body and the soul, so it is worth carefully studying its compatibility according to the horoscope in order to receive only benefits from it.

Compatibility with other stones

Iron rose is a conflicting material. It works well with:

• agate;
• emerald;
• heliotrope;
• sapphire.

The combination with carnelian and moss agate is neutral. A contradictory alliance with malachite, onyx, black agate.

Avoid combination with:

• turquoise;
• moonstone;
• sea ​​and river pearls;
• ruby;
• aquamarine;
• diamond;
• aventurine.

Iron mica conflicts with carnelian, amber, beryl, and chrysoprase. Cannot be combined with lapis lazuli, zircon, chrysolite, heliodor.

The breed goes well with emerald

Features of application

Various jewelry items are made from the mineral - earrings, bracelets, necklaces, beads, and rosaries. It is also suitable for decorating things if it goes well with the fabric and pattern. Sometimes used in conjunction with other gems. Looks luxurious together with beads made of fluorite, agate, amethyst, and obsidian. It can be supplemented with metal inserts and fittings, less often with leather straps and beads. Suitable for creating jewelry in different styles.
