hematite stones

Gems are not only precious stones that embellish magnificent pieces of art. Many cultures believe these enhance their owner's qualities and skills while attracting positive energies.

These metaphysical properties can now be part of your life with this stunning beaded necklace handcrafted by Brazilian artisan Jaques. He uses hematite stones to give each gem a unique space in the accessory, which includes cultured pearls, agate, carnelian, amethyst, jasper, fluorite, quartz, tiger's eye and citrine.

Believed to protect and purify, hematite is said to foster self-esteem. Guena presents the elegant gem as a skull inspired by legendary Maya carving. Symbolic of the passage from the living world to the realm of the dead, the skull image evokes a sense of mystery and secrecy, further enhanced by stone's natural energy.

Guena presents a tender egg sculpture symbolizing hope, purity and birth. Crafted in Brazil, this sweet piece of art is made from rose quartz, a gemstone often related to unconditional love, adding a special meaning to the item. It also has a hematite ring base for displaying the egg in all its beauty.

With a gleaming metallic sheen, the leaves of this petite gemstone tree are made from natural hematite. Joias do Rio offers this Brazilian gemstone tree, which is handcrafted with a trunk and branches made from gleaming brass wire. The tree stands atop a natural amethyst geode.
