Description
- Hematite donut in a 35mm diameter.
- Donuts make quick and easy pendants. Use our handy bails for a simple, beautiful solution. See it in action in the second image. Or, put them on one side for an asymmetrical necklace design using seed beads around the donut on two sides creating a link.
- When polished this stone was used as an early mirror, but when cut very thin it shows up as red, hence the origin of the name, Greek for blood.
- Although know since Babylonian times, Hematite was only popular during the Middle Ages, and later during the Victorian Age as mourning jewelry.
- Today it's made into highly polished beads in a variety of shapes and sometimes also magnetized.
