Hematite belongs to the oxide group. It mainly contains iron. Its chemical formula is Fe2O3.

Apart from the massive form, Hematite presents tabular, scale-like or mound-shaped (kidney-like) crystals.
Hematite is metallic gray in color but produces a red streak on porcelain. Its hardness is greater than 5/10 on the Mohs scale (10 for diamond).
Oligistic hematite is a variety with few faces, while specularite hematite is a variety of large, shapeless, shiny crystals. Some specimens resemble sand roses and are called iron roses.
The name Hematite comes from the Greek word "haima" which means "blood".
