Hematite is characterized by its dark gray to near-black tone and metallic surface. The natural luster creates contrast while remaining controlled and even.
An iron oxide mineral, hematite serves as one of the primary sources of iron used in steel production. Its density contributes to its weight and smooth surface quality.
Historical use includes iron ore extraction for metallurgy and steel manufacturing, as well as red pigment in paints, coatings, and early art such as cave paintings.
Sourced from regions including Australia, Brazil, and the United States, each specimen varies in tone and surface character.
