How to Buy a Lot of Magnetic Hematite

Magnetic hematite is generally a smooth, metallic mineral. Consumer-grade magnetic hematite comes most commonly in oval form, though it is available in many shapes. The mineral has many applications, though it is most commonly sought for its supposed therapudic properties. Many online retailers offer shaped pieces of magnetic hematite that are ready to be made into jewelry, though larger quantities of the mineral are available for more general purposes.

Instructions

- 1
  Decide what purpose the magnetic hematite is to serve. Teachers ordering samples of the mineral for a classroom setting may need to order more than someone wanting to craft a few pieces of jewelry.

  Visit treasuregemsandcoins.com and black-bear-haversack.com to survey the magnetic hematite that both sites offer. Both sites sell the mineral by the pound.
- 3
  Add the item to your cart. Both sites feature an "Add to Cart" button within the item description. To increase the amount of hematite you are purchasing, simplify change the "quantity" to a higher number.
- 4
  Complete the transaction by inputting your credit card and shipping information. Treasuregemsandcoins.com accepts PayPal payments, and therefore may be a better option to those without a credit card.
- 5
  Check for local gem and jewelry shows at rockngem.com/showdates.asp if you would like to purchase the magnetic hematite directly from a vendor. These shows occur sporadically and offer a chance to handle the product prior to purchasing it.
