Iridescent hematite, often called rainbow hematite, is a variety of iron oxide that displays a brilliant, multicolored sheen. This effect is caused by a thin surface coating of aluminum phosphate crystals or thin-film interference from nanoscale hematite crystals. Notable localities include Graves Mountain, Georgia, USA, and Elba Island, Italy
