REAL " BLOODSTONE" Hematite - Fe2O3 . RED GLASS HEAD .
Not to be confused with the so-called "BLOODSTONE jewelry and tumbled stones that are offered on the market en masse. THIS material is usually NOT REAL, it is either a sintered iron product or magnetite ironstone.
You can easily check this. REAL hematite is NOT MAGNETIC! Simply take a magnet - if it attracts the material, even slightly, it is NOT hematite. In addition, hematite is very hard and brittle and therefore very difficult to grind.
CAUTION: many other stones - especially in the jewelry sector - are not what they look like.
This piece was found in CUMBERLAND in ENGLAND.
Weight: 380 g Dimensions: 6.5 x 4.5 x 3 cm
