I was very saddened to hear that working with or even wearing magnetic hematite could interfere with my pacemaker/defibrillator. Some of those magnets are pretty strong. Not sure about magnetic clasps on some necklaces and bracelets.

 

 

Have not heard this re: hematite ~ where did you get your info? I wear magnetic clasps all the time ~ will be getting a PM in the near future ~ I have read a lot of info. from credible websites, but have not seen this as one of the things to watch out for ~ ~ interesting ~ ~

 

Go see some of the magnetic jewelry you can buy. http://www.fdp-magnetics.com/hematite_jewelry.htm

 

When I first became interested in using magnetic hematite, I checked over several bead sites. There was a caution on them about not using megnetic beads if you were pregnant. I knew I was going to have this procedure, so before buying the beads, I decided to ask my doctor. I was told not to use or wear them, but that I could use non-megnetic hematite instead.
