Hematite

Hematite is an iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe₂O₃. It is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and is a major ore of iron. Hematite is typically gray to black in color, but it can also appear reddish-brown due to oxidation. It has a metallic or earthy luster and is commonly used in the production of iron and steel. Hematite is also used in jewelry, as a pigment in paints, and in some healing and metaphysical practices. The mineral is often found in sedimentary rocks, where it forms through the oxidation of iron-bearing minerals.

Description

Hematite is a common iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe2O3. It is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and is the primary ore of iron. Hematite is found in a variety of colors, including red, brown, black, gray, and silver. It can also be found in different forms, such as crystalline, massive, oolitic, and fibrous.

Hematite is known for its high iron content, typically ranging between 60-70% iron, making it a crucial material in the production of iron and steel. The mineral is often found in banded iron formations, in sedimentary rocks like shale, and in the form of concretions or nodules.

In addition to its industrial uses, hematite has been valued for ornamental purposes throughout history, used in jewelry, as a pigment in art, and in some ancient cultures as a symbol of strength and power. The mineral’s magnetic properties and its dense, heavy nature also make it notable for various other applications, including in metaphysical practices and as a source of radiation shielding in some contexts.
