Iron ore is an extremely important factor in the global economy, making hematite a commonly used source. Hematite can be distinguished by its physical characteristics, mainly its dark, black colour and red powder. Its tabular crystals are often grouped into aggregates or form round, bulbous shapes. |

- Crushing
