Hematite is composed of iron oxide, exhibiting a shiny, metallic luster that has made it a traditional favorite in men's jewelry. With the highest density of any commonly used natural gemstone, hematite lends a distinctively weighty feel that sets it apart from lighter stones. These oval buff top cabochons display a bold black opaque color with a striking metallic sheen, making them well-suited for rings, pendants, brooches, and other statement pieces.
When sourcing hematite, be aware of imitation hematite — sometimes called hematine — which is composed of compressed iron rather than natural iron oxide. These cabochons are genuine hematite with no treatments applied. For care, clean with warm, soapy water; these stones are also safe for use in ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
