Hematite

Can I store my hematite in water or salt?

Hematite is an iron-rich stone and should not be exposed to water, especially not salt water, as it may rust over time. To purify it, use dry methods such as fumigation or sound purification.

Why does my hematite look different from the photos?

Hematite has a unique metallic luster, ranging from dark gray to shiny black. Depending on how it is cut and polished, it may have more or less intense reflections. As each stone is unique, it is normal for it to differ slightly from the images.

How can I improve the appearance of my hematite?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean your hematite and preserve its brilliance. Avoid contact with water or abrasive products. To enhance its appearance, place it under direct lighting to accentuate its natural mirror effect.
