Hematite 2mm Faceted Mini Rondelle Beads (Pack of 6) #LV7140

Size: 2mm, Approx. 2g

Hematite originates from haima, the Greek word for blood, as it is derived from iron which has a natural deep red color. It is one of the most abundant on the Earth's surface and crust, valuable in making shielding products and pigments. Prehistoric people used it to color clay which was used in cave paintings. Hematite is energetically one of the best grounding and protective stones for standing strong, deflecting negativity, and managing upsets. Overall it has a cooling and calming effect. Lie down & put on your feet to re-balance after a hard day.

These are the perfect size for medicine bags, medicine wheels, and accenting larger crystals in body layouts and grids. Use them in Feng Shui practice to accent and enhance the beauty of spaces and objects. Try scattering around plants, to enhance the look of candle or incense settings. They are beautifully grouped in your favorite glass dishes or art glass. On a table, put some around any natural objects to call attention to them and create beautiful energy. In crafts, I have used them in mandalas, set inside clear polymer to make a design of any kind. They are great for creating custom jewelry, wire cages, wire wraps. I have posted some pictures above to give you some ideas. Remember, your imagination is the only limit! Important common sense note: don't allow young children to play with these or put them in their mouths. Could be a choking hazard.
