Hematite Iron Oxide
Known as one of the most common minerals, Hematite is made of iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe2O3. It is the most important ore of iron and tends to have a black to steel color, though can also be found in the colors red or brown to reddish brown. Hematite is harder, yet more brittle than pure iron. Some examples of hematite are kidney ore, iron rose, and martite. Hematite is used to create pigments, ballast, and many other products.
