2015年1月17日 · Hematite certainly occurs in Kentucky, but the major source for many hematite artefacts in east south-central parts of the States was the Iron Mountain region of SE Missouri. Hematite the mineral is essentially non-magnetic but often exhibits weak attraction to powerful rare-earth magnets or industrial-strength electromagnets.

2014年1月5日 · A few are described as "circle roller" types because one side is a larger diameter causing it to roll in a circle as it comes to rest. One rare type of hematite, from Mississippi County, Arkansas was relief carved on one side (figure 3 ). Gamestones are made of diorite, green-stone, hematite, quartzite, limestone and flint.

2012年12月30日 · Native items referred to as “cone stones” are more usually close to hemispherical with a flat or slightly concave base. They’re generally made from hematite and – although their use is not completely certain – they are widely believed to be pieces used in games of skill, chance and amusement. Perhaps also in divination or fortune telling.

I found this in a Missouri creek today. It's very heavy. Black with bronze-like edges. A friend suggested it might be hematite, which makes sense, according to the photos I've found. Do you think that's what it is? Thank you!

2019年7月24日 · B758EF0F-B7DE-44A7-A50B-D949FB0CD130.jpeg Every now and then I find a piece of hematite but this is crazy. Ashley found a little round black thing on the edge of the field and asked me if it was metal or a rock. About the time I told her that I believe it is hematite she said here’s another one. These are some of the better

Agree. It doesn't look like hematite to me either. It looks more like sandstone as far as can be said from those pictures. You can check by streaking it on the back (unglazed) side of an old ceramic tile if you have any left over from redecoration work. Hematite will streak red or red-brown. Incidentally, it doesn't look like an artefact either.

2024年5月13日 · On the site, I have found many points, filled multiple mason jars with debitage, a broken axe head, abraders, rubbed hematite, and a few nutting stones.I don't know what kind of stone but it's not similar to the chert points I've been finding and seems less grainy than the nutting stones I've found. The thickness of this piece is pretty uniform.
