Iron is rarely found in its native state the only known sources being Greenland where the iron occurs as nodules in basalt that erupted through beds of coal and two very rare nickel-iron alloys. Iron's symbol is Fe from the latin ferrum.
Iron ores that are found native include magnetite, hematite, limonite, and siderite. These ores are typically found in a pure form in nature and do not require any extraction process to obtain iron.
Gold is found in its native form because it is a relatively unreactive metal, meaning it does not readily combine with other elements to form compounds. This allows it to exist in its metallic state in nature, typically as nuggets or grains in rocks and sediment.
iron is found in mixed form with other elements in a compound, mainly it is found as iron oxide

it is found in iron ore eg hematite
Iron is often found in compounds such as iron oxide (rust) rather than in pure form in nature. However, it can be extracted and purified from these compounds for various industrial uses.
Heme Iron
No, because they were isolated, Native Americans did not know of the use of iron before the European colonization. People in Europe, Africa, and Asia found many uses for iron long before Native Americans.
Gold, silver,copper, iron and mercury
Zinc, iron, cobalt, arsenic and titanium. There are other more obscure ones such as bismuth and antonomy. But stick to the simple 5!
Depends on the type of iron. Most is found unpure because it is melded with dirt, but sometimes, in rare cases, iron can be found untouched.
Both. Iron can be found by itself as a pure element, or it can be found in many compounds such as iron chloride, iron oxide, etc.
