Best Answer

It's actually called Iron (III) oxide. Fe2O3 is iron oxide, better known as rust.

Occurs in nature as the mineral hematite, and is the principal ore for iron. Its crystal structure is rhombohedral, sometimes occurring as gem quality. When gem quality hematite is polished, it appears smooth, dark gray, and metallic, used in jewelry and art work.
