hematite, heavy and relatively hard oxide mineral, ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3), that constitutes the most important iron ore because of its high iron content (70 percent) and its abundance. Its name is derived from the Greek word for "blood," in allusion to its red colour. Many of the various forms of hematite have separate names. The steel-gray crystals and coarse …

Starting with hematite, it's made up of iron and oxygen, with a specific formula of Fe 2 O 3. That means that for every two iron atoms, there are three oxygen atoms hanging around with them. Now, magnetite's formula is a bit more complex. Its formula is Fe 2+ (Fe 3+) 2 O 4.

The mineral's most common varieties are metallic and earthy hematite. Metallic hematite, also called specular hematite, has a shiny luster and may exhibit a micaceous habit, which means that it is easy to break small flakes off a sample. The flakes are quite hard, but are easily separated from the sample, making it difficult to recognize the ...
