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. 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.

4. Hematine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematine

   Hematine ring. Hematine (also magnetic hematite, hemalyke or hemalike) is an artificial magnetic material. [1] Hematine is widely used in jewelry. [citation needed]Although it is claimed by many that it is made from ground hematite or iron oxide mixed with a resin, analysis (of one object) has demonstrated it to be an entirely artificial compound, a barium-strontium ferrite.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botryoidal

   Botryoidal habit of gibbsite crystals. A botryoidal (/ ˌ b ɒ t r i ˈ ɔɪ d əl / BOT-ree-OY-dəl) texture or mineral habit, is one in which the mineral has an external form composed of many rounded segments, named for the Ancient Greek βότρυς (bótrus), meaning "a bunch of grapes". [1]

7. Red beds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_beds

   O 2 + 4FeCO 3 → 2Fe 2 O 3 (hematite) + 4CO 2 E = −346 kJ/mol Secondary red beds formed in this way are an excellent example of telodiagenesis . They are linked to the uplift , erosion and surface weathering of previously deposited sediments and require conditions similar to primary and diagenetic red beds for their formation.
