IMAGE_OF_SAMPLE: Not Available
SPECTROSCOPIC_DISCUSSION:
Hematite spectral absorption features are seen with an intense ultraviolet centered absorption from 0.3 to 0.55 microns, a feature at 0.66, and a strong feature at 0.88 microns.
A hint of an OH absorption feature (clay or mica) is seen at 2.2 microns.
This spectrum is identified as being from large grained hematite.
