2. Hematite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematite

   Hematite (/ ˈ h iː m ə ˌ t aɪ t, ˈ h ɛ m ə-/), also spelled as haematite, is a common iron oxide compound with the formula, Fe 2 O 3 and is widely found in rocks and soils. [6] Hematite crystals belong to the rhombohedral lattice system which is designated the alpha polymorph of Fe 2 O 3. It has the same crystal structure as corundum ...

3. Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide

   It occurs in nature as the mineral hematite, which serves as the primary source of iron for the steel industry. It is also known as red iron oxide , especially when used in pigments . It is one of the three main oxides of iron , the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare; and iron(II,III) oxide ( Fe 3 O 4 ), which also occurs ...

4. Martian spherules - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_spherules

   Martian spherules (also known as hematite spherules, blueberries, & Martian blueberries) are small spherules (roughly spherical pebbles) that are rich in an iron oxide (grey hematite, α-Fe 2 O 3) and are found at Meridiani Planum (a large plain on Mars) in exceedingly large numbers.

5. Iron (II,III) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II,III)_oxide

   Iron(II,III) oxide, or black iron oxide, is the chemical compound with formula Fe 3 O 4.It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite.It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3) which also occurs naturally as the mineral hematite.

6. Sunstone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunstone

   Oregon Sunstone is unique in that crystals can be quite large. The copper leads to variant color within some stones, where turning one stone will result in manifold hues: the more copper within the stone, the darker the complexion. [9] On August 4, 1987, the Oregon State Legislature designated Oregon Sunstone as its state gemstone by joint ...

7. Magnetite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

   Magnetite has been important in understanding the conditions under which rocks form. Magnetite reacts with oxygen to produce hematite, and the mineral pair forms a buffer that can control how oxidizing its environment is (the oxygen fugacity). This buffer is known as the hematite-magnetite or HM buffer.
