1.6" Hematite Crystals in Lizardite & Hydrotalcite - Norway
This is a 1.6" wide specimen that contains hematite crystals (pseudomorph after Ilmenite) that are partially encased by a lizardite (yellow-green) and hydrotalcite (white) matrix. This beautiful specimen was collected from the Øvre Dypingdal Mine (Dypingdal Serpentine-magnesite deposit) of Buskerud, Norway.
Hematite is a fairly common mineral, typically responsible for the red-brown colorations found in other minerals and rocks. Its chemical composition is Fe2O3, occasionally containing small amounts of titanium (variable formula (Fe,Ti)2O3). Much of the time, non-crystalline hematite specimens are the result of a transformation from limonite following loss of water.
