Magnetite vs Hematite

Question: Hi, I am looking for magnetite bracelet which has therapy effect on wrist, I saw your another magnetite bracelet, those magnetite orbs seem much more shinny and polished than the magnetite orbs for this item? Are both also natural magnetite ? Their color look very different.

Which magnetite has better healing effect ?

How about the hematite? The hematite looks very polished, are they also genuine one ?

Answer: Hi, thank you for your email. The shinier, more polished Magnetite bracelet is natural Hematite mixed with man-magnetized minerals. The matte colored grayish orbs you see in this bracelet is natural Magnetite and does not hold such a high magnetic charge. It depends on your preferences. Some people prefer to stick with only natural stones, others prefer the high magnetic effects of man-magnetized stones and the polished look of shiny stones versus matte effect.

As for the Hematite on this bracelet, is it natural, but reconstituted Hematite (ground and shaped) with a high polish on the surface. You may still see little craters of red iron, as natural Hematite has a red mineral streak.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email us
