Hematite Specimen | Polished Australian Iron Mineral
Prized for a bright metallic lustre and a surprising weight in the hand, hematite is iron oxide, the mineral that gives iron its name. This specimen comes from Koolyanobbing in Western Australia, an iron-rich district in the ancient Yilgarn where banded iron formations record millions of years of Earth's history.
The polished face has the lustre of brushed steel, silvery-grey with the warm reddish tone that hematite reveals, while the reverse keeps its natural character. Hematite has a depth of colour, and its weight is dense and satisfying to hold.
Hematite is a foundational addition to any minerals collection. A classic iron mineral with rich toning, distinctly Australian in this form, and a fine example of the metallic beauty locked inside ordinary-looking rock, this specimen is a perfect gift for mineral collectors, admirers of the AM Minerals Gallery, and anyone seeking an authentic, out-of-the-ordinary décor piece or gift.
