1" Cut/Polished Hematite Section - Planet Peak, Arizona

Cut/Polished Hematite Section - Planet Peak, Arizona #177912

Here we have a small, 1" wide formation of hematite that was collected from a site near Planet Peak Mountain in La Paz County, Arizona. This unique hematite formation has been cut flat on one side with a light polish.

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.
