Description: Hematite Locality: Lake Superior Mine (Hematite; Section 10 Exploration; Holmes-Section 16; Hard Ore; Section 21), Ishpeming, Marquette iron range, Marquette County, Michigan, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 5.8 x 5.4 x 4.4 cm. This rare piece came out of the Seaman Museum collection (specializing in Michigan minerals). It is an example of the very unusual micaceous habit of hematite, where it forms thin, mica-like layers massed together in thick "books." This is a rare old-timer!
