About hematite
Hematite is an iron oxide mineral (Fe₂O₃) that typically appears metallic steel-gray to black in gem form, with a characteristic reddish-brown streak. It has Mohs hardness about 5.5–6.5 and no cleavage, but it is relatively brittle and heavy, with high specific gravity (~5.2). It is opaque and valued for its metallic luster and weighty feel rather than transparency.
