It is believed to bring the chakras and yin and yang into balance.
These balls were made from solid natural hematite stone and can contain natural lines and mineral inclusions. It is different than hematite beads and stones that are artificially made from hematine.

About this product
Hematite can sometimes be called black diamond. The term hematite is derived from a Greek word “haima” meaning blood. It is associated with the Greek god of war, Ares, and the Romans god of war, Mars. The Romans adorned themselves with hematite, and used the mineral to paint their faces. This provided strength, and made them fearless and invincible.
Made of Natural Hematite
Hold in your hands natural hematite with our baoding balls. Most hematite sold, including magnetic hematite, are artificially made with a ferrite called hematine which is the material used to make magnets. Natural hematite looks different with many beautiful patterns and sparkles. These hematite baoding balls were hand cut from rough hematite stone and polished into balls you’ll be sure to admire.
Hematite is the chief ore of iron. Oxygen molecules are closely packed and mixed with iron to form the stone. It is the most widespread iron mineral and a valuable source for iron. You will find hematite ranging from many, different colors like silvery gray, black to blood red. It builds on each other to form successions of crystalline plates. It also leaves a red spot when drawn to the surface. Most popular forms of hematite are the silvery gray, which is utilized for decorative purposes, carvings, and jewelry.

I bought 2 pairs of Baoding balls. The amethyst ones are lighter and perfect for learning the “reverse” direction of turning. The hematite Baoding balls are quite a bit heavier requiring more concentration. I have been switching back and forth which is perfect for me. Why didn’t I have these before? Maybe the stars are aligned correctly for me to have them now.

Love the weight of the hematite. After working with one inch, this helped with stretching the muscles more.

Absolutely gorgeous pair. Great weight and feel. Much heavier than my other sets. After a couple days with the hematite set and my other sets feel practically weightless. Very pleased with them.
- Artem P.Verified
These are very beautiful, much denser than other baoding balls on this site. The medium size for these is a little smaller than other medium balls on this site, but they are denser and heavier.

I love the chime of the classic style Medicine Balls, but I needed a quiet set for Physical Therapy, post-surgery. The Hematite Boading Balls have a pleasant weight and I can use them while we're watching TV to get in my PT without disrupting our TV time. They're also gorgeous so I don't mind having them out on the shelf when I'm. not using them... it's a great way to remind myself to get in the daily PT with them.

Pro level users only! I enjoy these a ton from an energy benefit and overall look/feel but be aware they are at least 2x heavier than other mineral/stone versions like the Obsidian.

I am trying to improve the strength in my hand due to a thumb dislocation. The area is very difficult to target with traditional exercises and too painful with some other aids. These work well and I only occasionally drop one, which is more likely to crack something it lands on than the ball itself. Very heavy and nice quality.

They feel good in my hand. I sense another purchase coming quite soon.

Got exactly what I ordered in a timely manner!

The Hematite balls were more mottled than I thought hematite would be.
The Obsidian balls were black and glassy, as expected. - Joe W.Verified
The Hematite balls are beautiful, well crafted, nice weight, and relaxing to use. Nice smooth finish.

The perfect pair-feels great in my hands, just the right weight. Really does help me feel more grounded. I also love the case in came in. Have been purchasing meditation balls for a while now and this company is my favorite by far.

I’m very impressed with the quality of Hematite used to make these. The 2” set is fairly heavy and have been great for building strength and dexterity, as well as, soothing sore wrist and hand muscles. Very eye catching and make a great decoration for my desk when I’m not using them. Highly recommended.
- Michael S.Verified
This was an excellent choice. I should have purchased the LARGE balls instead of medium.
- Matthew H.Verified
These balls are solid. Feels kind of sexual for your hand, like a massage on your body and these balls look like a space planet, very inspiring. Great balls.

Great Product
- JustinVerified
I ordered the large size and have fairly large hands the stones perfectly fit in my hand. The weight of the hematite is comfortable and gives it a premium feel, definitely not too heavy.
- James H.Verified
Got the smaller size. Very nice texture, good heft, nice click when they tap. Have bought more from here due to them being quality.
