DING...DING....DING.... :D
 :D JohnInCOS GUESSED IT RIGHT. :) PRETTY GOOD POST FOR YOUR FIRST!! ;) :P Named from the Greek word for blood, hematite often coats igneous and sedimentary rocks with redish color similar to rust, a form of hydrated iron oxide. Good job John. ^_^ :) Denise :) -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Mrs. CP, I know exactly what it is!
It's.... called.... a.... ROCK!  LOL! But is it hematite or is it goethite? Think about it, hematite is Fe2O3 and goethite is HFeO2. They can do the same colors and they can do the same botroidal formation. I find the red ochre just up from my home. BTW, dbinCO had it right. Red Ochre is another name for hemetite. Used more often for earthy hematite, but still one and the same. They used to mine that stuff up here. And right next to the hematite mines they also mined copper and gold and uranium. All but a few were open pits. Carl -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.
If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |
