Polished Hematite
Hematite is a common iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe₂O₃. It is one of the primary ores of iron.
Hematite typically exhibits colors ranging from metallic gray to black in its metallic form, and from reddish-brown to red in its earthy form.
• Geological Settings: Hematite is found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. It can form through volcanic activity, in hydrothermal veins, and as a result of the weathering of iron-bearing minerals.
• Locations: Notable deposits of hematite are found in countries like Australia, Brazil, China, and the United States (notably in Michigan and Minnesota).
