My friend just found this on his farm. Check out the viens! Is it normal for them to be sharp on both ends?

I think banding in hematite (correct me if im wrong) means that it formed during the Precambrian age which makes it older than normal hematite, and among the oldest rock in the world....the bands were due to oxygen being released by the first oxygen-producing organisms to inhabit the earth called stromatolites, which were blobs of algae, which "layered" overtop the normally iron rich layers of the rock

Oh yeah, and cool find de0e

Really?? That is some great info. because Ive never seen banded hematite before until now. I love the look of it. Thanks for the input!!

Here is one I have showed before. It has some of that red in it as well. It is shattered on the back side but a good example of type. I like that one he found. I have no idea of worth though.
