Iridescence in Metamorphic "Rainbow" Hematite | Gems …
Mineral dealer Rock Currier (1940–2015) was largely responsible for introducing rainbow hematite to the U.S. market. According to notes he published on Mindat, Currier first visited an outcrop of what he called "color rock" from the Andrade mine in João Monlevade, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1991 (figure 2; Currier, 2012).

Rainbow hematite is a form of hematite, a common iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe2O3. What sets rainbow hematite apart from typical hematite is its captivating iridescent or rainbow-like sheen. This iridescence is caused by the presence of a thin layer of microscopic platelets or scales on the surface of the mineral.
