Hematite

The semi-precious gemstone comes in various shapes and sizes, and its metallic sheen adds a touch of sophistication to any jewellery or outfit. Hematite gemstone beads are perfect for creating statement pieces that catch the eye.

One of the unique things about Hematite gemstone beads is their magnetic properties. Hematite is often utilised in magnetic therapy, as it is believed to affect the body positively. Hematite gemstone beads also have grounding and calming properties, making them a popular gemstone choice for those seeking a sense of balance and stability in their lives.

How Hematite gemstone beads are made

Hematite is a natural mineral found in many parts of the world. The process of creating Hematite gemstone beads involves several steps, beginning with the extraction of the raw mineral from the earth. Once the Hematite is extracted, it is processed to remove any impurities and to prepare it for bead-making.

The first step in processing Hematite is to crush the raw mineral into small pieces. This helps break up any large chunks and removes impurities such as dirt, rocks and other minerals. The crushed Hematite is then washed and dried to remove any remaining impurities.

Next, the Hematite is shaped into beads using specialised machines. The machines cut the Hematite into the desired shape and size and then polish the beads to give them a smooth, shiny finish. Hematite gemstone beads can be shaped into various sizes and shapes, from small round beads to large, irregular shapes.

Since Hematite is a natural mineral, each bead is unique in pattern and colour. No two Hematite beads will be exactly alike, thus adding to their charm and appeal. The natural variations in Hematite’s pattern and colour create a striking and distinctive look that makes Hematite gemstone beads an irresistible choice for jewellery makers.
