Hematite is an iron oxide mineral known for its metallic grey to black appearance and reddish-brown streak. It commonly occurs in massive or botryoidal forms, with a smooth to slightly granular texture and a metallic to earthy luster.
Composed of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), hematite has a hardness of 5–6 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for decorative and industrial use. It is widely found in regions such as Brazil, Australia, and India.
Each piece displays natural variations in surface texture, shape, and color, making every specimen unique.
