What is a hematite bracelet worn for?
A hematite bracelet is traditionally worn for grounding, focus and steadiness when a day feels scattered. Hematite belongs to the root chakra and is linked with Aries and Aquarius. Its weight is part of the appeal: many people notice it on the wrist, which makes it a physical reminder to slow down. Keep it dry, because iron can rust and lose its mirror shine.

What is hematite?
Hematite is an iron oxide and the main ore of iron. Polished, it turns a mirror-bright silver-grey, and it feels noticeably heavier than other beads of the same size. It measures 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale and is commonly found in Brazil, Australia and China. Every Crystal Basket bead is natural and undyed, so colour and pattern vary from bead to bead.
Which wrist do you wear hematite on?
Wear hematite on the right wrist. Grounding and protection pieces traditionally sit on the projecting side, and hematite is the steadying stone in The Guardian and The Anchor.
How do you cleanse a hematite bracelet?
Cleanse hematite when it arrives and about once a month: overnight in moonlight, on a selenite plate for a few hours, or in palo santo, sage or oud smoke. Hematite is iron oxide and can rust, so wipe it with a dry cloth instead of rinsing it. It is sun safe, so a short spell on a bright windowsill does no harm. Full cleanse and care guide.
What does hematite pair well with?
Hematite is often worn beside black tourmaline, smoky quartz and black obsidian. Every bracelet is 8 mm, so any of them stack evenly on the same wrist.
