Hello,
a few weeks ago I have purchased a nice specimen of yellow Baryte xls on Fe-Dolomite matrix, which is covered with "Hematite" xls. The "Hematites" have an habit similar to Pyrargyrite (both minerals are trigonal), and show partially cherry-redinternal reflexes (not untypical for both minerals), the lustre is black or gray fatty-metallic under the microscope, not typical for Hematite. I think, this mineral ist correctly labeled as Hematite ("Pyrargyrite" is a hypothesis with a low probability). Can you confirm my assumption, that these xls ar Hematite? - In the mindat-Gallery, respectively the mindat database there is no Hematite to find with respect to this special location.
Thanks a lot,
Michael
