About this product
Natural Hematite Design Meets Functional Wellness
These Hematite Baoding Balls are solid, polished gemstone with no internal chime. Hematite is natural iron oxide with a steel to silver-gray look. It is our heaviest gemstone pair. These balls are cut from natural stone, not from man-made hematine used in many beads and magnets. Natural lines and mineral sparkle are common.
Rotate them in your palm and you’ll feel the cool weight of the stone and the subtle pressure on the acupuncture points of the hand. With regular use this simple motion can help:
- Improve finger dexterity and grip strength
- Ease hand and wrist stiffness
- Support stress relief and mindfulness
- Give your hands a focused, meditative workout you can do almost anywhere
About Hematite
The name comes from the Greek haima, “blood.” Romans associated the stone with strength in war. Most “hematite” sold today is a ferrite mix. These baoding balls are the natural mineral, hand-cut and polished, so each pair shows its own pattern. Because they are so dense, start slowly and rotate with care. They are more fragile than metal sets if dropped.

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.

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

Hematite balls
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
Very nice
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.

They have a nice weight, and they're quiet
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.

Heavy AF
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.

Hematite: Heavy and high quality
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.

Hematite and Obsidian
The Hematite balls were more mottled than I thought hematite would be.
The Obsidian balls were black and glassy, as expected. - Joe W.Verified

Best set of meditation balls I’ve purchased so far!
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.

Amazing - My Favorite 2” Set
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.

Happy
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.
