Big Hematite & Sterling Adjustable Ring Thrift Shop Find 95 Cents

Yep, in with the costume jewelry! The manager did not see the marks on the outer band. She looked for a big 925 stamp, didn't find one (the stamp in the photo is very small), so hung it on the junk jewelry display tree. I was standing at the counter when she sorted out the jewelry and thought for sure she was going to tag this ring for 20 bucks and put it in with the other silver.
Nope.
The band is open at the top of the ring and hidden from view. I've worn it all day and am surprised at how comfortable it is, considering it's size.

Spiritual and Psychic Properties

Hematite is a stone that is most commonly -- and most strongly -- used to ground or stabilize and for protection. In spiritual work, hematite is an excellent stone to help keep yourself also connected to the Earth plane, as some would say via the silver cord, so that your spiritual learnings and travels can be done safely and things learned can be brought back to daily life more easily.
