Magnetic Application

Magnets.
Well here we have a new challenge and an old one , magnets for this one and an old one on jewellery from back in November 2017 .
So, this bracelet of silver colour coated Haematite hearts made by my daughter is put together with a magnetic clasp . The magnetic clasp is very useful for people with dexterity issues , but you will not easily pull the clasp apart - it is more a case of just sliding them apart as the magnetic pull between the 2 magnets is very strong indeed . If you look in the first comment box you can see the clasp closed .
The Heamatite is also spelled hematite, and is a common iron oxide with a formula of Fe₂O₃ and is widespread in rocks and soils. Hematite forms in the shape of crystals through the rhombohedral lattice system, and it has the same crystal structure as ilmenite and corundum. Natural hematite is sometimes weakly magnetic, but won't attract metals or other pieces of hematite. Hemalyke, hematin and similar synthetic stones do not usually contain any real hematite, but can be polished to resemble natural hematite and have a strong magnetic field.If they are 'attracted' to each other or to something metal then they are not real. Another test for real Hematite is to give it a quick rub with sandpaper. The Hematite should be a bit red below the surface or the powdered Hematite should be reddish in a real gemstone.
I found it difficult to find a sight and sound other than JMJ , so here is one track from his Magnetic Fields album ,
