The listing, Simple Hematite Beaded Choker, Necklace 18" Long has ended.

I used Hematite beads in different sizes to create this simple choker - necklace that measures 18" long. It has a Lobster clasp.

Hematite is considered to be a healing mineral and if worn close to the body can bring about inner peace and other good things for the inner soul.

Here's some interesting history I located that makes up the property of this stone:

"Hematite is the mineral form of iron oxide and has a striking metallic luster, similar to polished metal. The word hematite comes from the Greek work "haima" meaning blood, referring to the mineral's red color when in powdered form. A hematite stone will leave a red streak when scratched along a piece of unglazed porcelain.

Hematite was used in seals as early as 2500 B.C. The ancient Egyptians placed hematite in tombs, as they believed it would help with the transition to the afterlife. Roman warriors associated hematite with Mars, the Roman God of War. The soldiers used hematite for protection in battles, believing it would make them invincible. Native Americans used the powdered form of hematite to create red face paint while American colonists relied on hematite to create weapons for the Revolutionary War.

Many believe hematite can help with inner peace, aiding in clarity, balance, calm and reason. The gemstone is also thought to enhance memory, intellect and dissolve negativity."
