Hematite is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth's surface and in the shallow crust. It is an iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe 2 O 3. It is a common rock-forming mineral found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks at locations throughout the world. Hematite is the most important ore of iron. Although it was once mined at thousands of locations around the world, today almost all of the production comes from a few dozen large deposits where significant equipment investments allow companies to efficiently mine and process the ore.
Magnetite and hematite are minerals of iron. Both have iron in different oxidation states, and they are in the forms of iron oxides.owever, all these types of hematite minerals have the same reddish brown streak. In fact, hematite got its name because of the blood red color it has when it is in the powder form. On the Mohs scale, its hardness is given as 5-6. Hematite is brittle, but it is harder than pure iron.
