yes it is
Yes, hematite is an iron mineral, the oxide Fe2O3.
Magnetite is an oxide of iron which occurs in igneous rocks, and in veins and replacement deposits; it is one of the most important ores of iron. It usually occurs as a coarse, granular mass of black octahedral crystals, and produces a black streak. Magnetite is permanently magnetic, and was the first magnetic material to be discovered, known then as lodestone.
One is oxidized aluminum and the other is oxidized iron. Iron oxide is magnetic. Aluminum oxide is not. Most of the clear semi precious gems like rubies and emeralds are made from aluminum oxide. Iron oxide is in hematite the black, opaque mineral.
It is known as Iron(II,III) Oxide or Ferrous-Ferric Oxide, but its IUPAC name isIron(II) Di-iron(III) Oxide. It has the formula FeO.Fe2O3 but it is generally known as Fe3O4. It is formed by chemical combination of Iron(II) Oxide with Iron(III) Oxide. It has a special property different from the other 2 oxides, as it is exhibits Magnetism. It exists naturally in the Earth in form of Magnetite (or Lodestone) mineral. Some similar Compounds are Mn3O4, Pb3O4 etc.When iron is molten it reacts with water (vapor) to form [Fe3O4]3 Fe + 4 H2O ----> Fe3O4 +4 H2It can also be prepared by reduction of Iron(III) Oxide using Hydrogen(H2) or Carbon Monoxide(CO)3 Fe2O3 + H2 ----> 2 Fe3O4 + H2Oor3 Fe2O3 + CO ---->2 Fe3O4 + CO2
Magnetite, an iron oxide mineral is magnetic. It is also called 'lodestone'.
Lodestone is another term for magnetite, a naturally magnetic iron oxide mineral.

Iron oxide minerals.
lodstone is heavy and iron just suks
The mineral magnetite is also known as lodestone, a name also used for pieces of the ore that are natural magnets. Magnetite consists of iron (II,III) oxide with the formula Fe3O4.
Lodestone or magnetite is a magnetic type of Iron oxide ore.double click on lodestone or magnetite for an answer tips definition.
Lodestone is Fe3O4-also called magnetite.
Lodestone is a naturally magnetized piece of magnetite, which is a naturally occurring iron oxide. Lodestone's can be black or gray with a brownish tint and is brittle and broken.
yes it is
The first known magnets were naturally-occuring magnetic rocks called lodestones. Lodestone is composed of magnetite, an easily-magnetized solid mixture of Iron (II) oxide and Iron (III) oxide. Lodestone's magnetism is induced by the planetary magnetic field generated by the Earth's core. It was soon discovered that pieces of iron metal could be magnetized by stroking them with a lodestone.
Hematite is a mineral that is mined for its iron content. It is the most important ore of iron and is a common iron oxide mineral.
