Mineral class: oxides and hydroxides
Crystal system: Trigonal (often appearing as hexagonal,tabular or rosette crystals)
Hardness:5-6.5 on the MOHs scale
Tick formation: Hematite firms in a wide variety of geological settings,
Sedimentary rocks: the most abundant source; hematite often precipitates directly from iron rich marine or lake waters,acting as a rock cement or forming massive layers. It is the principal component of banded iron formations.
Hydrothermal veins: forms as high temperature hot fluids move through rock fractures, cooling deposits crystalline or platy hematite.
Weathering and soils: acts as a secondary mineral where iron rich rocks undergo intense oxidation and weathering.
