Hematite is an iron oxide mineral (Fe₂O₃), traditionally associated with grounding, protection, and focus. This adjustable bracelet strings hematite beads on a silver-tone cord alongside a classic blue-and-white nazar (evil eye) charm — a glass bead carrying its own long tradition of protective symbolism. Quick facts Stone Hematite beads + glass evil eye (nazar) charm Composition Iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) beads; some hematite beads on the market are magnetic hematite, a man-made material — see note below. The nazar charm is man-made glass. Hardness (Mohs) 5–6 (natural hematite) Color Metallic silver-grey beads; blue-and-white glass charm Origin Brazil and other iron-ore regions (hematite, varies) Chakra Root Traditionally used for Grounding, protection Care / Water-safe Not water-safe — keep dry, wipe with a soft cloth Meaning & history The evil eye, or nazar, is a protective symbol carried across many cultures around the Mediterranean, Middle East, and beyond, traditionally worn or displayed to ward off ill will. Here it's paired with hematite, a stone linked in crystal tradition to protection and grounding and to the root chakra. A quick note on transparency: a large share of hematite beads sold in jewelry today are magnetic hematite (sometimes called hematine), a man-made, magnetized material rather than mined mineral hematite, and the nazar charm itself is man-made glass rather than a natural stone. Both are chosen for their symbolism and color, not as claims about mineral origin. How to wear it Slide the adjustable cord to fit your wrist, then wear it daily as a small, layered reminder of both grounding and protective symbolism. Many people wear it alone or stacked alongside other crystal bracelets for a fuller look. Care & cleansing Keep the bracelet dry — wipe the hematite beads with a soft cloth rather than washing them, since moisture can cause rusting or tarnishing on natural or magnetic hematite alike. Remove it before showering, swimming, or exercising, and handle the glass charm gently to avoid chipping. If your beads are magnetic hematite, also keep the bracelet away from electronics and credit cards.
