Hematite Runes

I just got these delivered today, and the package contained almost exactly what I expected. They are very pretty, shiny, gray hematite stones, engraved with the Elder Futhark, and one extra, that I tossed into my junk drawer, should I ever need to replace one. They are varied in size, while the photo led me to believe that they would be fairly uniform and more "domino-like" in shape. The stones are packaged in a cardboard box, and in a small black velvet-like bag inside the box. They seem to be of a fairly high quality, considering the pricing. I'm a little skeptical about the bag and will probably replace it eventually.The stones themselves are varied in size and shape, but all are able to lay down on their faces and are "more or less" cube-shaped. Futhermore, with my limited experimentation so far, they seem to be effective, so overall I am quite pleased. And the package arrived two days ahead of schedule!

These were purchased as an additional set to one I have used for years. All in all these are far better than the other blue onyx set I purchased as a gift. This manufacturer appears to have a few different carvers and the carvings on these are far better than they were on the blue onyx. The stones are in better shape as well although there were a few that had some rough spots. As a backup set for me they will do just fine but will certainly not replace my primary set. Overall they are decent quality and the staves look pretty decent.

They werent as flat as what was pictured, i was a little disappointed with that...some were quite rounded and small, actually..but i love hematite..and all the runes were there, and etched well, and they looked very nice. Overall i was happier with this purchase...i have previously bought the wooden runes from the same company, and they werent as well made, and had one of the runes mis-sketched, so i checked each one of these, and they all looked good, so im happy.

Nice weight and feel. All were done very well but some shapes made it almost impossible for the rune to land "face up" but that is the risk with natural stone. Easily worth it for the price but I don't consider them "drop runes" at more than an inch or so off of a table as they might dent the table.

The Sowilo rune is carved in a mirror image of what it should be. (At least it wasn't Eihwaz, thank goodness.) It's a shame, because other than that, it's a very nice set. The runes are flat and large enough to read clearly without straining. They are rather heavy, so those who prefer to cast runes from a long distance above the table might want to opt for something lighter.While I had previous experience with runes when I got this set, I do have to say that the LWB (instruction booklet) that comes with these is going to be pretty worthless for a beginner. It's also inaccurate in that it presents the blank rune as a historical thing. If you're willing to risk getting backwards runes, toss the booklet that comes with these and get something decent that wasn't derived from Ralph Blum.

Beautiful but different sizes and one symbol different than my runes and books I study with, other than that I love them shiny hematite, blank rune shaped like a dice, They will be something different to work with but I am strongly drawn to them.

These hematite runes are fantastic!!! You can see their symbols very clearly & the stones themselves are big, smooth & flat, making any reading for a client or friend easy easy. I highly recommend them for anyone into Runes!!!

My third set of these. First one was outstanding - very definite and clear markings on beautiful Hematite Tumblestones. Second set were not quite so nicely shaped. New set are wonderful. Lovely energy, a couple are not quite as flat as I'd have wished but still fall well in a casting. Very clearly and deeply etched. Maybe it's the luck of the draw, but two out of three sets of these are well worth the money. Highly recommended 🙂

While the stones themselves seems of good quality and the selection of stones is wise and good, the actual colouring of the engraving is very poor quality. Two fo the stones arrived half uncoloured, where whatever is used to colour the engravings was completely gone (on arrival). Joy in particular.While this has potential as an excellent divination set, its just falls short at the last hurdle.

as soon has they came in the post and i opened them i felt great energy but they are a little bigger than i expected but am in love with them

Nice runes, heavier and better quality than I expected for the price. Very happy with this purchase

Gorgeous lovely stones
