Strand of Non-Magnetic Matte Silver Titanium Hematite Chip Beads

To what illustrious pieces of jewelry will you add these beads? The sheen exhibited by each bead, despite the matte silver finish, will surely turn any piece into a statement maker.

You might even consider using these beads as pebbles in a diorama.

Hematite (from the Greek word Haima, meaning blood, in reference to the minerals red color when powdered) is the principle ore of iron, and one of only a few gemstones that displays a metallic luster when polished.

The beads come temporarily strung on a 16-inch length of string. There are about 115 chip beads per strand. They measure 3 mm by a range of 5-10 mm.

These are titanium rich and non-magnetic beads. As these are a natural product, please allow for some variation.
