6x12mm Magnetic (Manmade) Hematite 4 Facet Twist Beads - strand

Magnetic Hematite Jewellery:
Hematite is a natural substance made from iron ore. When polished it has a black grey sheen, which is very attractive. For many years it has been used for making jewellery which can be used for many different occasions. It does not look out of place with evening wear or casual clothes. It has known favor amongst royalty since Egyptian and Greek days. Named after the Greek "haima" for blood, it will streak red when rubbed against a harder substance. When faceted, known as a "black diamond." Many people believe it has properties which give the wearer a feeling of well-being or optimism and relieves stress. Many believe it can also help people who suffer from arthritis.

Great for making bracelets or necklaces from multiple layers of memory wire or strands of tigertail as rows will attach together due to magnetic properties without any fastenings. Lots of design possibilities!

Note:  Magnetic beads should be kept out of the reach of children - if swallowed seek urgent medical attention.  Pregnant women, people who have pacemakers, use electrical defibrulators or insulin pumps should also avoid wearing magnetic beads.
