Maori Stones with Magnetite

Scientists are studying the Earth's magnetic field using the stones that line Maori steam ovens.The cooking process generates so much heat that the magnetic minerals in these stones will realign themselves with the current field direction. Abandoned stones at these locations could shed light on Earth's magnetic behaviour going back hundreds of years.

"The Maori prefer these volcanic boulders because they don't crack and shatter in the fire, and from our point of view they're the best because magnetically they behave better - they're formed with a high concentration of magnetite," the Wellington scientist said. "But there are some sedimentary rocks which we can use also."

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

Sincerely,
