Hematite
specimen number:
2341332
location:
Nador Pachalik, Nador, Oriental, Morocco
description: Located in the Oriental region of Morocco, the Nador Pachalik area features rich iron ore deposits associated with volcanic and sedimentary rock sequences shaped by complex regional tectonics. Historically known for industrial and artisanal mining operations targeting iron resources, the area has gained international fame among mineral collectors and museums for producing exceptional specimens of hematite. These mineral formations often occur as brilliant, metallic, mirror-bright crystal plates, rosette clusters, and sharp specularite formations that are meticulously recovered by local miners.
Beautiful aesthetic sculptural cluster of mirror bright metallic lustrous hematite crystals without matrix. This is in super condition all around with no points of attachment. Excellent for the species.
