Meaning & history
Magnetic hematite is manufactured to be far more strongly magnetic than natural hematite ever is, which is what makes these spheres click and roll together so satisfyingly. In crystal tradition, hematite (the mineral it is styled after) is associated with grounding, focus, and emotional balance, often linked to the root chakra.

How to use it
Roll the spheres between your hands as a calming fidget, or keep a pair on a desk where the magnetic pull becomes a small, satisfying distraction during a busy day. Because these are true magnets, keep them away from pacemakers, credit cards, electronics, and small children, who could swallow them or pinch fingers between pieces.
Care & cleansing
Please note: this is a man-made magnetic material, not natural mineral hematite, and it is strongly magnetized. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. Store away from magnetic strips, electronics, and pacemakers, and supervise children and pets around the spheres.
Frequently asked questions
Is magnetic hematite natural?
No. Magnetic hematite is a man-made composite styled after natural hematite's metallic look, manufactured with much stronger magnetism than the mineral naturally has.
What is the Hematite Magnetic Sphere used for?
It's a decorative, symbolic, tactile piece many people use as a desk fidget or grounding object. It's not a health product or medical device.
Is it safe to use around electronics?
Keep it away from credit cards, hard drives, pacemakers, and other magnetically sensitive devices, since it is a genuine, strong magnet.
Can children play with magnetic hematite spheres?
Supervise closely. Small strong magnets can be a swallowing hazard and can pinch fingers, so they are best kept away from young children.
What chakra is hematite associated with?
In crystal tradition, hematite is most often linked to the root chakra and themes of grounding and focus.
Can I get the sphere wet?
It is best kept dry. Wipe with a soft cloth instead of soaking, since moisture can affect both the surface finish and the coating over time.
