The ancient name for the gem known as bloodstone, black diamond and kidney ore comes from the Greek word "haimatos", which translates to "blood". Now this mineral is known as hematite stone, its properties are amazing and unique.
How does a magnetic hematite bracelet work?
This bracelet consists of two elements, and therefore acts in two directions at once.
Hematite is a stone that is famous for its healing properties. It has a positive effect on the circulatory system, no wonder its popular name is “bloody”. In addition, it helps people cope with stress and normalizes blood pressure.
Now let's understand the effect of magnets. Each cell in our blood contains many hemoglobin molecules. At the center of these molecules are iron atoms. Thanks to magnets and their effect on iron, hemoglobin cells begin to transport oxygen more actively. As a result, all organs and tissues of our body receive more oxygen and improve their functioning. A similar effect was proven by chemist Linus Pauling back in 1954, for which he received the Nobel Prize.
Hematite bracelet: properties and contraindications
This useful jewelry is recommended to be worn by people with the following problems:
• hypertension (high blood pressure);
• problems with blood circulation.
In addition, it is able to generally improve a person’s well-being, give him strength and energy.
Remember that a hematite bracelet with magnets is not just jewelry, so it should not be worn by just anyone. This thing has its contraindications. Firstly, it cannot be used by people who have pacemakers or any other electronic devices in their body. Secondly, the bracelet is not suitable for people prone to bleeding. And finally, it should not be worn by women during pregnancy or by small children (under two years of age).
In any case, the effect of magnets and hematite is individual. Once you start wearing the bracelet, listen carefully to your body and remove it if you feel unwell.
If handled with care, a hematite bracelet will last you a very long time. Protect it from impacts and direct rays of the sun; in summer, do not leave it in the car or on the windowsill. Also try not to keep the bracelet in close proximity to audio and video cassettes and magnetic bank cards, as they may become demagnetized.

I don't even know where to start. Probably from the background. I have an elderly woman I know who is a lover of stones with healing properties, magnetic bracelets with icons and other things. One of her friends told her that hematite cleanses the blood and strengthens the kidneys, liver and spleen. Well, it also helps hypertensive patients fight high blood pressure.
So, the products described below were purchased at her request. All the details are under the cut.
Many sources claim that hematite is a stone for magicians and spellcasters, protecting against evil forces. Charlatans and amulets traders claim that wearing hematite products “protects against astral attacks,” charms fans, helps fulfill immodest desires, calms anger, etc. Such judgments do not have any objective scientific evidence.
Hematite is a widespread iron mineral Fe2O3, one of the most important iron ores. The name comes from the Greek word “heme” - blood, and is associated with the red-brown color of the powdered mineral.
Other names for hematite: Alaskan diamond, iron mica, iron eye, mirror ore, red ore, red iron ore, bloodstone, sanguine, black diamond, etc.
An amazing property of hematite is that although the mineral itself is externally iridescent with a metallic sheen of a very dark gray, steel color, but if you grind a piece of the stone, the powder will be brownish-red, which is what gave it its name.
In the Middle Ages, magicians, sorcerers and alchemists simply could not live without hematite. In books describing magical rituals, it is an indispensable attribute.
By the way, several years ago scientists made a discovery: an American probe discovered hematite on Mars.
In the process of writing the review, I will try to check whether hematite was actually purchased and how much its “medicinal properties” helped the owner.
Questions/Answers
Have questions? Ask them, we will try to answer.
How to distinguish a fake?
Simply identify by the color of the stroke. In hematite it is dark red. It is checked this way: take an earthenware or porcelain vessel (cup, mug). Their bottom is usually unglazed. Draw a line along this rough surface with a stone. In real hematite it is dark red, brown, almost black.
Externally, hematite is similar to obsidian, jet, even morion. The difference is the strong shine of the bloodstone and its heaviness .
Hematin is not hematite
Hematin is an artificially created stone. It was invented in the USA, in the wake of interest in magnetic therapy. Visually it is difficult to distinguish it from natural stone. The difference is in magnetic properties. In hematin they are much stronger.
So just try a magnet on your jewelry. The jewelry will attract you - it’s not hematite in your hands...
Important : hematin products should not be used by people with heart implants or pregnant women. Children should not wear them.
How to care?
The stone does not require any special care when caring.
- We remove dirt with soapy water and rinse with cool water. After this, it is advisable to wipe dry with a cotton napkin.
