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.

List:

Has anyone cut a hematite nodule and found what looks like metal. Looks the
same as the metal in meteorites.

Could it be "Specular Hematite?"

It is very magnetic (magnet attraction)

Much Thanks,

Greg S
