hematite
A solid can refer to any material that has a definite shape and volume, including both bricks and hematite. A brick is a manufactured building material, typically made from clay, while hematite is a naturally occurring mineral form of iron oxide. Both are solids, but they differ in composition and use. Therefore, the term "solid" applies to both bricks and hematite.
No, standard hematite, a form of iron oxide, is not attracted to a magnet. See the related link to the right for more information on hematite from a layperson's point of view.
When magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3) are heated together, they form a solid solution known as magnesioferrite (MgFe2O4). This new compound has different magnetic and electrical properties compared to the original minerals.
Hematite is a mineral. This is from wikipedia: A mineral is a naturally occurring solid with a definite chemical composition and a specific crystalline structure. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. Have a look at this page in wiki about hematite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematite
Hematite is an ore of iron.
Yes, hematite is a mineral.
Hematite intermixed with Goethite is also known as Rainbow Hematite and is wonderfully iridescent.
Hematite is a mineral composed largely of iron. Hematite rosary beads would be beads made of hematite used for a rosary.
Hematite is a mineral of iron: Fe2O3.
Hematite, also spelled as hæmatite, is the mineral form of Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), one of several iron oxides. Hematite crystallizes in the rhombohedral system, and it has the same crystal structure as ilmenite and as corundum. Hematite and ilmenite form a complete solid solution at temperatures above 950°C. Hematite is a mineral, colored black to steel or silver-gray, brown to reddish brown, or red. It is mined as the main ore of iron. Varieties include kidney ore, martite (pseudomorphs after magnetite), iron rose and specularite (specular hematite). While the forms of hematite vary, they all have a rust-red streak. Hematite is harder than pure iron, but much more brittle. Maghemite is a hematite- and magnetite-related oxide mineral.
Hematite's color is mostly sliver
