Hi Greg, Hematite IS a metal, so that's what I would expect to see in a hematite nodule. Some will be completely oxidized (rusted) so that there is no more visible metal left in them, but others will still have some metal in them. Hematite is Iron and Oxygen (Fe2O3), so that's why it's attracted to a magnet.

Looks the same as the metal in meteorites. Could it be "Specular Hematite?" It is very magnetic (magnet attraction) Much Thanks, Greg S ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ----- No virus found in this message.
