8.2" Polished Reticulated Hematite Slab - Western Australia
This is an excellent example of reticulated hematite. It has been cut into thin slabs and polished to a reflective surface on one side. The branching spiny pattern makes this a visually intriguing display piece that fits in any collection.
Comes with an acrylic display stand.

Hematite is a fairly common mineral, typically responsible for the red-brown coloration that can be found in other minerals and rocks. The chemical composition of hematite 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.
