Description of the 8 mm Haematite Beads

Minerals Kingdom offers you these gorgeous 8 mm haematite beads. Belonging to the oxide family, haematite mainly consists of oxygen and iron. This stone is of frequent occurrence and its most important deposits are located in Brazil. It can be found in abundance on Mars in the form of a red dust that colours the planet.

The term “haematite” comes from the Latin “haematites”, derived from the Greek “haima” which means “blood”. It refers to the colour of its powder, red, tinting the water and making it resemble blood. Haematite has been used since Prehistory in its powder form to paint walls. The Egyptians considered this stone as a precious stone. They engraved it and credited it with protective properties. They believed the stone could ward off undesirable events (physical disorders, enemies, evil spirits…). In Antiquity the Greeks and Romans crushed the stone to drink it after having mixed it with sheep’s milk to relieve eye problems. They also added it to vinegar to soothe abnormal bleeding, snake bites, etc.

You can use these 8 mm haematite beads to design your own jewellery (necklaces or bracelets), either alone or combined with other gemstones with complementary properties. If you need advice about the right stones to combine them with, do not hesitate to contact our Minerals Kingdom advisers. They will be happy to help you.
