Bought at flea market for 50 cents. I thought it was beautiful. Thanks to Martika, I now know what it is - have never seen anything made from rainbow hematite, so I will be on the lookout now.

"Rainbow hematite is the trade name given foliated specular hematite which comes from a mine near Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil."
Thanks for looking at my bracelet.

Hope you will find out!
Come to think of it, I have this weird brooch with beads with similar colors. Will post it so you can see. The beads are small but similar to yours.
Titanium bracelet or rainbow hematite? :
