Sample Description

Specular Hematite, a.k.a. micaceous hematite, has a metallic sheen and appears to be composed of thousands of super shiny mica flakes. Hematite (iron oxide), also known as Alaska Black Diamond has such a high sheen when polished that long ago it was used for mirrors. Much hematite is a soft, fine grained, earthy form called red ocher, which is used as pigment. Purified hematite, called rouge, is used to polish plate glass and jewelry.

Inmagyi - Yinmarpin area, Thazi township, Mandalay region

Locality Description

Iron mineralization occurs in the Hpakant area, particularly at Katheintaung, Lamaung and Sankha. Iron ore minerals of magnetite, hematite and goethite are found as lateritic residual deposits on serpentinite bodies. The most abundantly mineralized area is Katheintaung, where three disseminated ore-bearing zones are mined. The largest ore zone is about 1540 m long and 830 m wide, with an average thickness of about 22 m. Iron minerals occur as accessories, hematite, magnetite and pyrite, in Sn–W veins, chromite–nickel deposits, copper deposits and lead–zinc deposits.
