Zen is a simple bracelet handmade with the finest quality materials. Wear this bracelet from day to night, or layer it with your other hematite jewelry pieces for a look that can't be beaten.

Hematite

Hematite is a dark, blackish gray opaque stone with a metallic luster. It has an extremely high brilliance and shine and takes a metallic polish that can look silver, pure black, or gunmetal blue.

The Lava Stone
Lava Stone is created out of the fiery heat underneath the earth from raw energy. Lava stone is just one of one of the most typical rock kinds discovered ashore as well as oceans. Currently, lava rock is estimated to cover 8% of the planet's whole surface. It's a fine-grained volcanic rock developed of generally pyroxene as well as plagioclase minerals.

In ancient times, people extract lava stones and also have actually taken advantage of lava stone meaning for hundreds of years. In ceremonies, lava rock was used generally for security and courage. Ceremonial artifacts, consisting of beads, masks, and vessels made from lava rock have actually been uncovered from archeological websites around the world-- some of them dating back to over 8 thousand years ago.

Jasper
Jasper is closely related to several other minerals: chalcedony, chrysoprase, nephrite, carnelian, and agate. All of these are also microcrystalline quartz minerals. Because of the wide varieties of colors and patterns and the excellent polish, jasper is valued for jewelry.
