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 ...
Iron(III) oxide in a vial. Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3.It occurs in nature as the mineral hematite, which serves as the primary source of iron for the steel industry.
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.
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.

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.
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]
