Review (5/5): Great for its healing properties
I've had my hematite bracelet since early 2009. I purchased it for health reasons as it is believed to have healing properties. Hematite is not a crystal, it is a mineral. The outside features of a hematite is very unique that it is hard to mistake it for something else. Some of the benefits of hematite are cures blood problems, headaches and anemia, kidney problems, cramp relief, and also provides calming and grounding effects. I don't wear mine all the time but I usually wear it when my fingers start to hurt from mild arthritis. This bracelet provides immediate relief that I had to write a review about it.
If your thread starts to break, I suggest you purchase something like the [[ASIN:B015KMB9HU Beadnova 0.8mm Elastic Stretch Polyester Jewelry Bracelet Crystal String Cord Beading Thread Spool 50M (Clear White)]]. It's worth it and I guarantee that you will be able to wear your [[ASIN:B000XRR7N8 Hematite Black Pearl Bracelet - Style 12269]] for a long, long time.
Warning: If you have a magnetic hematite, do not place it next to your wristwatch.
