76598--Hematite "Rub stone" for ocher powder
Raw iron ore, probably found in the deposits that now are part of Kentucky's Land Between the Lakes (blast furnace remains and 'diggings' are part of their exhibits)--the piece itself was found in Henderson County, Kentucky, an area that in the 1200s--1400s held a considerable Mississippian Cultural site--winter cornfields in the modern era have produced a number of these polished Hematite rubstones--ground to a high polish as the powered iron was abraded--early 'cosmetics' facial paint, or for ceremonial use, ocher was a staple. The polished stone (ore) measures 1&9/16" by 1&1/8", and 7/16" thickness--REALLY dense. Shipping is $6.00 with checks, cash, or M.O.s welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
