How to spot a fake

Despite the wide distribution and modest price of minerals, there are quite a large number of fakes of bloodstone. Under the guise of natural stone, unscrupulous sellers offer pieces of metal ceramics. To distinguish a natural mineral from a fake, you need to run the selected specimen along the uneven edge of a ceramic cup or dish. Real hematite will leave a bright red tint, but counterfeit will not. If you scratch any stone with a mineral, a red stripe will also appear.

On the mineral market there is a synthetic analogue of bloodstone - hematin, which is quite difficult to distinguish from natural stone by its external characteristics and shine. The only caveat is that the analogue is attracted by any magnet, but the original is not.

Other differences of natural mineral:

  1. Much heavier than ceramics and plastics of similar size.
  2. It can quickly heat up in your hand and does not cool down for a long time.
  3. The natural gem has a heterogeneous structure and a noticeable metallic sheen.

Note! Buy jewelry with minerals only from trusted sellers - the risk of encountering a fake in large stores is significantly reduced.

If you wear a talisman, try to listen to your inner voice more often. It is believed that hematite is closely connected with the information field of the Earth, which gives it magical properties.

Who is the jewelry suitable for and how to wear it

Age, psychotype

All kinds of bracelets, earrings, brooches and pendants with a dark insert highlight their owner. They suit strong and self-confident individuals who are always ready to fight back against others. And, conversely, for shy and modest people, the stone will not be a favorite choice.

Hematite is a popular option among creative people and businessmen - it is considered a talisman and a symbol of special status. Moreover, such products look best on people of middle age and older - they symbolize experience and accumulated confidence. At a young age, the stone will “burden down” the owner and stand out from the general image.

Fashion style

Products with hematites go well with business and casual style - they complement the laconic image with a metallic sheen. However, you should not choose such jewelry as an accessory for a romantic date or a gala evening. Black hematites are best combined with other, brighter jewelry

Men's products

Bloodstone is one of the most successful stones for a masculine look. Hematite jewelry is widely represented in men's collections - they are distinguished by simple cuts and geometric motifs.

Inserts with gems complement rings, cufflinks, tie clips, and bracelets. Such jewelry is distinguished by its versatility: most of them will look good in both a business and everyday look.

Note! Products made from solid hematite should not be worn in hot weather, as they heat up quickly and can cause a burn.
