Earthy hematite often forms in environments with still water such as lakes and mineral hot springs, often appearing with a round, bumpy surface that has come to be known as “red ochre” or sil atticum.

Hematite can have an iridescent sheen, also referred to as rainbow hematite. Unfortunately, most of the rainbow-hued materials sold at gift, tourist, novelty and science shops is likely manmade. Additionally, unlike metallic varieties of hematite, earthy varieties do not attract magnetism when scratched against a white ceramic plate; leaving behind either reddish brown streaks in its wake for Hematite, while magnetite creates black stains instead.
