Botryoidal Hematite - Polished Handheld Specimens

$39.00

Hematite is a hard and dense iron oxide compound that manifests a shining luster, with its dark blacks and browns accented by red flecks along its fissures. It's been used across human history both as fashioned tools and in its pigment form as ochre for cave painting.

These specimens are Polished Botryoidal Hematite and come in a small and medium size. The rounded nodules present in the cluster owe their formation to small clumps of matter like sand the mineral formed around, giving the hematite its signature appearance.
