Hematite, a Shape-shifting Mineral From the Stone Age

As the foremost source of iron ores on the planet, hematite has shaped civilizations for thousands of years. The mineral was first used as the main pigment in cave paintings often having a reddish hue, a signature trait of hematite.. Later, it was — and still is — the primary source of iron, shifting the world out of the Stone Age and into the Iron Age.

Hematite | Properties, Formation, Uses, Occurrence

Composition: Hematite consists of iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) atoms, with two iron atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms in each formula unit (Fe2O3). Iron Content: Hematite is a rich source of iron, typically containing about 70% iron by weight. This high iron content makes it an important ore for iron extraction and steel production.
