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 ...
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.
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 ...
Itabirite, also called banded-quartz hematite or hematite schist, is a foliated, metamorphosed oxide-facies iron formation in which the original chert or jasper bands have been recrystallized into macroscopically distinguishable grains of quartz and the iron is present as thin layers of hematite, magnetite, or martite (pseudomorphs of hematite after magnetite).

Maghemite (Fe 2 O 3, γ-Fe 2 O 3) is a member of the family of iron oxides.It has the same formula as hematite, but the same spinel ferrite structure as magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and is also ferrimagnetic.
The iron content of taconite is generally 30% to 35%, and the silica content generally around 45%. Iron in taconite is commonly present as magnetite, iron silicates, and iron-bearing carbonates, and locally martite (hematite) formed by oxidation of magnetite.
