Its surface is flecked with tiny, bright crystals that flash silver and steel in the light, and the shimmer shifts with every turn of the stone. It is dark, grounded and unexpectedly radiant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specular hematite is a form of iron oxide, a mineral that forms in the earth as shining, mirror-like flakes. Its name comes from the Latin word for mirror, \u003cem\u003especulum\u003c\/em\u003e, for the way those tiny crystals reflect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetaphysical properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specular hematite is traditionally associated with grounding, courage and protection, and with keeping a steady focus when life feels scattered. Ruby is said to carry passion and vitality, and sapphire is associated with clarity and wisdom, so this strand brings together strength and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI set the stone by hand in sterling silver, then hung it from a strand of ruby and sapphire beads, each one strung individually on silk thread. The deep reds and blues glow against the stone’s silvery sparkle. Nothing is cast and nothing is premade. Because every specular hematite is different, this necklace is truly one of a kind. The stone in the photos is the one you will receive, and once it is gone, there is no other like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecular hematite, set by hand in sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuby and sapphire beads, strung on silk thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athena Bandit Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62896350199967,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0318\/0439\/1555\/files\/3FA7E7F8-D6F2-4073-B930-C802414AF425_1_105_c.jpg?v=1792937570","url":"https:\/\/athenabandit.com\/products\/specular-hematite-necklace-ruby-and-sapphire-beads-on-silk-one-of-a-kind-gemstone-pendant-handmade-sterling-silver","provider":"Athena Bandit Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
