The metallic sheen of hematite makes these dark grey beads a popular choice for a man's rosary. Many designers turn to lower priced "hemalike" or "hematine". We order only genuine, high quality hematite. The depth and consistency of lustre make the cost well worth the attractive keepsake. Large hematite rosary (additional product image) incorporates 6mm size hematite, 6mm sterling silver letters for name, and sterling silver Our Father beads while small (pictured top) features 4mm hematite beads.
