Magnetic Hematine Necklaces
For a little bit of fun, we have added man-made magnetic hematine to our gemstone set. Most nonmagnetic and magnetic “hematite” on the market is actually man-made, but not all retailers note this. Our nonmagnetic supplier calls their stone “hemalyke” and the supplier of the magnetic uses “hematine.” We use these names in our catalog. Most of our hemalyke pieces can be made with the magnetic beads, either fully magnetic or as a mix of the two stones. Magnetic therapy has been said to ease the pain of such ailments as arthritis, carpal tunnel, and nerve and muscle pain. Although we have had customers tell us they believe the magnets work, we do not promote the jewelry for this purpose. We just think they are fun to play with. Magnetic jewelry is not recommended if you are pregnant or wearing a pacemaker.
