Is this bracelet safe for my mother?

My mother recently bought some bracelets made of hematite, there seems to be conflicting information online on if this is safe for her to wear

It doesn't say it's "magnetic hematite", which seems to be a different word for another material altogether, this is just "normal" hematite it would seem, would anyone be able to give me a concrete answer on if this is fine for her pacemaker?

The only way to get a 100% concrete answer is take the bracelet to her next interrogation and see if it affects it. That said, regular hematite is harmless. Magnetic is probably harmless. A magnet has to be both very strong and very close to the device to have an effect.

The puck that they use to interrogate is a magnet. Magnets won't hurt us, the worst they can do is put it into test mode until it's removed. If she paces a lot, she would feel it if that happened.

I've been paced every beat for 30 years, am not the least bit careful, and have never had an issue. If something does cause a mode switch, it will show up at the next interrogation. Any time I've asked after doing something questionable, they didn't see anything. When the first ipads came out with the magnetic cases, I took one to a pacer check. We could not get it to get the pacer to change modes. I sometimes tuck my iphone in my bra right over my pacer when I run. Most people are more careful than me but 30 years is a long time to get blase about it. 

If something is questionable, keep it at least 6" from her device. 

If she ever feels odd near something questionable, get farther away from it. 

When in doubt, ask her doctor, take it to an interrogation, or call the manufacturer.
