Haematite / Hematite is the primary ore used for the production of iron. It was also used historically as a red or brown pigment.
The name hematite is derived from the Greek "haimatitis", meaning "blood-red", because it gives rocks a reddish tinge. If soils or rocks have a reddish color, it is usually due to hematite, and it's actually hematite that gives the planet Mars it's reddish hue!
Hematite also has magnetic properties and hematite jewelry has become
quite popular lately. Hematite beads are usually strung together along
with other kinds of beads (crystal and amethyst) into long strands that spontaneously snap together, making an instant 'lariat' style necklace.
Finally, hematite is a very pretty stone with a a lustrous dark silvery-gray color.

What useful material may be obtained from bauxite?
Aluminum in soft-drink cans comes from the mineral bauxite.
What are bauxite and hematite called since they produced useful materials?
Bauxite and hematite are called ores, since they both produce useful minerals.(Bauxite - Aluminum)(Hematite - Iron)
What is a useful mineral?
Mineral extraction sites adjacent to the railroad line.
Is a mineral an ore or a gem if it contains something useful and can be sold for a profit?
Actually, a mineral is an ore if it contains another mineral. It can also be sold for a profit, once the USEFUL mineral is either melted out, or drilled out. Then the left over of the ore is useless, but the mineral itself can be sold for profit purposes.
What mineral would make it hard to live without?
The silicate minerals like quartz and feldspars are plentiful and extremely useful in ceramics, glass products, and electronics of all types. Calcite is another useful and abundant mineral which is used to make cement, of which most roadways, sidewalks, dams, and building foundations are constructed. Metallic minerals like magnetite and hematite provide much of the ore for iron production. And copper is found in most machines and electrical gizmos. In other words, it would be hard to single out one specific mineral, when the loss of one important one could alter our life as we know it.
What useful material may be obtained from bauxite what useful material may be obtained from hematite what are bauxite and hematite called since they produce useful material?
Bauxite is aluminum ore, hematite is iron ore.
What useful material can be obtained from hematite?
Hematite is the naturally occuring mineral form of Iron (III) Oxide, or Fe2O3. As such, it is possible to extract pure iron from it.
What useful material may be obtained from bauxite what useful material may be obtained from hematite what are bauxite and hematite called since they produce useful materials?
Bauxite used to produce aluminium. Hematite can be used to produce iron. Bauxite nd hematite are called minerals and in the context of metal production ores.
What useful material may be obtained from bauxite and hematite?
Bauxite is the primary raw material for production of aluminum and hematite is the primary raw material for production of iron. Materials such as bauxite and hematite that are naturally occurring sources for metals are called "ores".
What useful material can be mined from hematite?
Iron.

A mineral that contains a useful substance or element such as iron or aluminum is a(n)?
This is a raw material (feedstock).
What Minerals can be classified according to their use what classification is given to a mineral that contains a useful amount of a particular element such as iron?
A mineral that contains a useful amount of a particular element is an ore. An ore containing iron is called iron ore, such as magnetite (Fe3O4), and hematite (Fe2O3), which contain 70% iron.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_ore
What is a rock that contains a useful mineral?
A mineral containing a useful substance is an ore. Example: Bauxite is an ore, from which is extracted the commercially valuable metal aluminum.
What is a useful mineral?
Mineral extraction sites adjacent to the railroad line.
