Hematite pseudomorph after Magnetite
These large Hematite pseudomorphs after Magnetite octahedrons are from the classic site at Dypingdal, Snarum, Norway. The old included label shows the mineral as "Ilmenite", because of its ~3% titanium content, today considered just an impurity. However, this is the correct label! Also interesting is that this specimen is about 50% pearly-cream colored hydrotalcite -- this is its type locality. Collected about October, 1908. This specimen measures about 8.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 3.7 cm. The largest crystal is about 3.3 cm along an edge. Hematite pseudomorph after Magnetite |
