1.6" Kidney Ore (Botryoidal Hematite) - Argentina

This is a shiny, metallic specimen of thin bladed hematite from Argentina. It has a wonderful luster and measures just over 1.6" wide.

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.
