Hematite (Specularite)

Specular Hematite, also known as Specularite, is a variety of Hematite with a shiny exterior surface with black undertones. The shimmering effect is caused by aggregate pockets of incredibly shiny flakes of Hematite as well as minor traces of Mica. Specular Hematite can be found worldwide from the United States to Canada, Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, Sweden, Venezuela, and England. However, the supply has become increasingly rare.
