Product Information

Commercial Grade Beads Are The Lowest Quality Are Not As Shiny The Sizes Are Smaller & Some Defects.
AA Grade Beads Are Mid Quality Economy Grade Sizes Are Smaller With Good Polish & Few Defects.
AAA Grade Top Quality Beads Are Larger More Accurate In Size & High Polish.

The Magnetic Beads We Sell Contain Magnetite A Natural Ferrimagnetic Mineral. Magnetite Is A Heavy, Semi-Metallic Gemstone Most Valued For Its Magnetic Properties.
Since Raw Hematite Cannot Be Permanently Magnetized, Magnetized Hematite Is A Mineral Composite Of Ground Natural Hematite (Iron Oxide) And Small Amounts Of Other Natural Minerals.
A Composite Is Much Easier To form Into Detailed Shapes And Can Be Magnetized And Still Contain Hematite.They Still Have The Same Basic Chemical Composition- Iron Oxide.
So Magnetic Hematite Has The Benefits Of Natural Hematite And Magnetism.

GEMSTONE ENHANCEMENT GUIDE

Dyed Gemstone Is To Give It New Color, And To Intensify the Color Or To Improve Color Uniformity.

Heating Is Used To Alter The Color, And Clarity. Heating Is The Most Common Treatment, And Can Improve Color By Lightening Or Darkening. It Can Also Clarify And Brighten Stones So These Gems May Cost A Bit More. In Most Cases The Heating Enhances The Gemstone To Make It More Beautiful.

Synthetic Are Man-made Materials But Have The Same Physical And Basic Chemical Composition Of Naturally Occurring Stone.
