Hematite

What is Hematite?

Hematite is an iron-oxide mineral with a striking metallic silver-grey shine. It is heavy for its size and takes a mirror-like polish.

Hematite Benefits & Meaning

Hematite is worn for grounding, focus and protection, and is popular in men's rings and bracelets for its bold metallic look.

How to Identify an Original Hematite

Genuine hematite is noticeably heavy, has a bright metallic lustre and leaves a reddish streak. Because imitations are common in the market, buy from a trusted seller — every stone at GemStore.pk is hand-inspected and, where applicable, lab-verifiable.

Traditionally the stone is worn on a ring, bracelet or tasbeeh; it is heavy, so smaller stones are more comfortable.

What decides the hematite price

The price in Pakistan depends on lustre and polish, freedom from chips, size and the quality of the cut — natural hematite is inexpensive, so check it is not magnetic "hematine". Every listing in this collection shows the exact carat weight and price, and our gemstone price guide explains typical ranges so you can compare with confidence.

Care and cleaning

Hematite can scratch and may rust if left wet; wipe dry after washing and store away from harder stones.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.
