"Bauxite is the most important aluminum ore. It consists largely of the minerals gibbsite Al(OH)3, boehmite γ-AlO(OH), and diaspore α-AlO(OH)"
the above is taken from wikipedia
the first compound is formed from aluminum reacting with atmospheric water
the next two are what are called polymorphs, they have the same chemical formula, but when they are created they form different types of crystals.
These are created by aluminum reacting with atmospheric oxygen and water

Is bauxite a substance?
Bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is the main ore of aluminum. Bauxite varies in composition, as does any rock, but the main components are minerals of aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide. Bauxite may also contain amounts of iron, clay, silt and silica. Bauxite is the result of the leaching of minerals from tropical soils leaving a hardened clay-like material that is high in the above minerals, which resist leaching. In addition to being the primary source of aluminum, some bauxite is also used in the manufacture of abrasives.
Why must chemical equations be balanced using coefficients?
The number of atoms in the reactant and products must be equal to obey the law of conservation of mass.

What do chemical equations show about compounds and elements?
Chemical equations represent chemical composition of reactants and products and also how does the reaction occur.
Why are molecular equations referred to as molecular even if no molecular substances are involved?
The overwhelming majority of chemical equations do involve molecules, but if they don't, you can call them chemical equations rather than molecular equations.
