Hematite is composed of iron oxide, exhibiting a shiny, metallic luster. A traditional favorite in men's jewelry, hematite has the highest density of any commonly used natural gemstone, lending a distinctively weighty feel. Be aware of imitation hematite — sometimes called hemetite — which is composed of compressed iron rather than the genuine mineral. These round cabochons display a striking black opaque color with a bold metallic finish, making them a versatile choice for rings, pendants, bracelets, and other metalwork designs.
Clean with warm, soapy water. Safe for use in ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
