This specimen consists of three very small chips off of the type specimen of
arakiite. It was discovered by Dr. Mark Feinglos on a specimen he had obtained
from the Natural History Museum in London in 1985. Arakiite is very similar in
appearance to
dixenite
and
hematolite. Hence, the original label with the specimen has identified
this as
dixenite. The majority of the specimen is
hematite
with very small amounts of arakiite attached to it.
Origin: Långban, Sweden
