What is Botryoidal Hematite? Botryoidal Hematite is a variety of hematite, an iron oxide mineral (Fe₂O₃), that forms in smooth, rounded clusters with a bright metallic lustre. The specimen's metallic appearance is created by the way light reflects from densely packed hematite crystals. Particularly large rounded formations are traditionally known by collectors as Kidney Ores. Hematite contains approximately 70% iron, making it one of the world's most important iron ores. The mineral's name comes from the Greek word haima, meaning "blood," a reference to the distinctive red-brown streak produced when hematite is powdered or rubbed against unglazed porcelain despite its metallic silver appearance. It has long been valued as a grounding mineral and is one of the most widely recognised iron oxide minerals found in nature.
