About the Item

A very large, naturally occurring botryoidal hematite specimen, presented on one of our exclusive painted plaster display plinths. Hematite is the most important iron ore; in fact, iron makes up 70% of its composition. Its appearance can vary greatly, occurring in many natural forms including crystalline and fibrous. This specimen is an excellent example of the botryoidal form, characterised by its clustered, grape-like formations with rounded, bulbous shapes. Colours of hematite can vary from a very dark black to reddish-brown, this specimen showcasing a distinctive dark brown hue. Thanks to its scale, this hematite specimen will make a striking display piece. It will look impressive on a sideboard, tabletop, or column, or alternatively a superb specimen in a collector’s cabinet.
