Hematite from Taouz 2.3kg (Morocco)
PUMI2400
The area of Taouz in Morocco is known for its hematite deposits, a mineral that has been formed from complex geological processes involving iron oxidation.
The action of water and sediment can round the edges and smooth the surface of the stones, creating hematite specimens of a particularly regular and rounded shape, like this one.
Due to its metallic luster and distinctive color, this stone has been used to make jewelry, sculptures and other art objects since antiquity. Nowadays, hematite is also used as a red pigment in some paints.
