Hematite is a type of iron ore, if you grind it into a fine powder it makes the natural pigment ochre which is used by native people in southern and East Africa (mixed with fat) to adorn their bodies. Hematite can also be used to make a form of black shiny jewelery. == ==
Hematite is formed through a process called sedimentary metamorphism, where iron-rich sedimentary rocks are altered under high temperatures and pressure. This transformation results in the formation of hematite, usually in the presence of water. Hematite can also be directly precipitated from water, forming as a mineral in hydrothermal environments.
Yes, other minerals can scratch hematite. Hematite has a hardness of 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale, so minerals with a higher hardness (like quartz or corundum) can scratch hematite.
The word equation for the reaction when iron forms hematite in the Earth is: Iron + Oxygen → Hematite.
Magnetite belongs to the spinel group of minerals
Bauxite and hematite are called ores, since they both produce useful minerals.(Bauxite - Aluminum)(Hematite - Iron)
Hematite is a mineral known for its metallic luster and black to silver-gray color. It has a high density and is often magnetic, attracting objects made of iron. Hematite is also used in jewelry and as a pigment due to its vibrant red color when powdered.
Scientists think they made Mirrors out of Hematite.
Hematite is a mineral composed largely of iron. Hematite rosary beads would be beads made of hematite used for a rosary.
A ring made of hematite. Hematite is the mineral form of iron and is a dark gray color, sometimes magnetic.
hematite
A magnetized rock, such as magnetite or hematite, can be used to pick up paperclips because they have magnetic properties that attract objects made of iron, like paperclips. These rocks can act as makeshift magnets for small metal objects.

Yes, hematite is primarily made up of iron and oxygen, with a chemical formula of Fe2O3. It is a common ore of iron and has a metallic luster.
Yes, hematite is a mineral.
Hematite is an ore of iron.
Hematite intermixed with Goethite is also known as Rainbow Hematite and is wonderfully iridescent.
