The Calminds Original Money Magnet Bracelet — five stones on one elastic band: golden hematite, green aventurine, pyrite, tiger's eye and citrine.
About the name
We should deal with this first, because the name is a claim and we are not going to pretend otherwise. "Money Magnet" is the long-standing trade name for this five-stone combination, and it is what customers search for, which is why the product is still called that. It is not a description of what the bracelet does. No stone attracts money. If a shop tells you one does, it is selling you something other than stone.
What is real is this: a bracelet you put on every morning is a thing you notice, and if you chose it while deciding to take your own finances seriously, it works as a reminder of that decision. That is worth having. It is also the whole of it.
The five stones, and what they actually are
-
Citrine — quartz coloured gold by traces of iron. Most citrine on the market, ours included, is heat-treated amethyst: the same mineral, the same iron, heated to around 400–500°C so the violet becomes gold. Permanent, and standard trade practice for over a century.
-
Pyrite — iron sulphide, FeS₂. "Fool's gold", and the tests that expose it are simple: real gold is soft, heavy and malleable, while pyrite is brittle, strikes sparks and leaves a greenish-black streak.
-
Tiger's eye — quartz that grew through a fibrous mineral and replaced it, keeping the fibre alignment, which is what produces the band of moving light. Gemmologists call it chatoyancy.
-
Green aventurine — quartzite carrying flat platelets of fuchsite, a chromium-rich mica. The chromium gives the green, the platelets give the faint glitter.
-
Golden hematite — worth being straight about: "golden hematite" is a trade name, not a mineral. It is usually hematite (iron oxide) given a metallic coating to produce the gold tone. Hematite itself is named from the Greek for blood, because however silver-black the polished stone looks, its powder streak is rust red.
The tradition, as tradition
Citrine is the merchant's stone, traditionally kept in the cash box. Pyrite, aventurine and tiger's eye all carry prosperity and confidence associations in modern crystal practice. Those traditions are real and well documented as traditions. They are the reason this particular five turn up together, and they are not effects.

Care — the pyrite is the reason this matters
-
Keep it dry. Pyrite oxidises in damp: it can dull, crumble at the edges and produce a faint sulphur smell, and in bad cases it releases acid that attacks the beads around it. Collectors call it pyrite decay, and it is not reversible. Take the bracelet off before washing your hands, showering or swimming.
-
Keep the citrine out of prolonged sun. Citrine's colour fades with long sun exposure and does not come back — so no charging it on a windowsill.
- The coating on golden hematite beads is the part that wears; keep perfume, sanitiser and hairspray off it.
- Cleanse dry only: sage smoke, sound, or a selenite plate. Never water, never salt.
- Roll it on and off rather than stretching it wide — that is what makes the elastic last.
Which hand
Convention puts receiving stones on the left and expressive ones on the right. There is no mechanism behind it. Wear it wherever it is comfortable.

Questions we get asked
Do money magnet bracelets work?
Not in the sense the name suggests. No stone attracts money, and we will not tell you otherwise. People wear this as a daily reminder of a financial goal they set themselves, and a visible reminder of a decision is genuinely useful. That is the honest answer, and we would rather give it than make the sale on a promise.
Are the stones real?
Yes — all five are natural stone, with the treatments disclosed above: the citrine is almost certainly heat-treated amethyst, and the golden hematite is coated. Both are normal in the trade and both are stated here rather than hidden.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes, provided you take it off around water. See the care notes — the pyrite is the sensitive part.
Natural variation
Colour, banding and pattern differ bead to bead across all five stones.
What this is, and what it isn't
This is a stone bracelet. It does not attract money, wealth, abundance or opportunity, improve your finances, business or career, or affect your confidence, motivation, focus or mindset. There is no evidence that any stone does, and Reiki has not been shown to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition. Nothing here is medical, financial or investment advice, and no one should make a money decision on the strength of a bracelet. Worn honestly, it is a well-made piece of jewellery and a reminder of something you decided for yourself.
