1 Strand Hematite/ Hematine 9x6mm Oval Beads; approx; 45 beads to a strand the strand measures approx. 16 inches/ 40cm.

Hematite or Hematine is an iron ore, and is a sleek dark grey black colour, the colour of polished coal; the stone is said to promote a calming influence, it is often used with pearls or mother of pearl - we have matching sized mother of pearl beads for the rice shaped beads, and this is an excellent semi precious stone to use as a spacer bead as it is unobtrusive and seems to make other stones and components stand out.
