Our worldwide bead repository includes many esteemed semi-precious stones – including this very nice group of 150 mixed Haematite beads weighing in at 100 grams.
Most creative beaders will attest to the importance of having a healthy selection of semi-precious beads on hand to use when creating jewellery such as necklaces, earrings, or bracelets.
These particular mixed collections of 6-9mm beads comprising of bicones, rounds, arrows, ovals, drops, and bows, would make a useful addition to your jewellery-making bead box – with each bead having a 1mm centre-drill threading hole, while the colour black – goes with virtually any other colour.
Haematite is a grounding stone that is known for its stability and protection qualities. It is also known for its ability to help several health ailments.
The mineral comes from Western Australia, Venezuela, North America (Lake Superior), Brazil, and Eastern Canada.
And because the mineral content contains about 70 percent of iron ore, it is highly sought after for its use in the manufacturing of steel.
That said, this collection has been heavily discounted with each bead now costing roughly $0.106 each – a must-have for your jewellery-making box of goodies.
