Definition of haematite in English:

haematite

(US hematite)
noun ˈhiːmətʌɪtˈhiməˌtaɪt
  • A reddish-black mineral consisting of ferric oxide. It is an important ore of iron.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Minor hematite gives some specimens a red color.
    • Carriers include the iron oxides magnetite and hematite.
    • The red sandstone is made up of quartz grains coated with hematite, an iron oxide mineral that gives the stone a red colour.
    • The fluids that precipitated the veins were a likely source for some of the iron that formed the hematite.
    • Among the simple oxides, only anatase and hematite have been found to date.
    • The ironstone is locally represented by hematite matrix-supported vein quartz breccia.
    • The third potential way the hematite could have formed is by oxidation of a mineral called magnetite in basalt and lavas.
    • Those theories include that the haematite may have formed in a long-lasting lake or in a volcanic environment.
    • Some of the material contained micaceous masses of specular hematite associated with quartz, epidote, and numerous veinlets of calcite.
    • Most, if not all, of these mines have likely produced specimen-quality hematite, goethite, and perhaps other minerals.
    • Like hematite, some goethite is pseudomorphic after a rhombohedral carbonate mineral.
    • This colour change occurs over only a few metres on the ground and is probably related to the reduction of hematite to magnetite.
    • Impressive blades and masses of lustrous micaceous hematite occur in localized quartz veins, and reniform goethite is found in the walls.
    • Even if the hematite's origin remains ambiguous, trace amounts of other minerals could serve as additional markers of past water.
    • This was a steely gray specimen of the mineral hematite which, like many other stones, has a tradition of healing and additional magical influences.
    • The lakebed is believed to contain hematite, a crystalline iron compound usually formed in the presence of water.
    • The assemblage present included quartz, chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, magnetite, and hematite.
    • Some samples have hematite in the calcite veins.
    • Both areas were selected because they have an ancient layer of hematite, an iron oxide mineral that on Earth almost always forms in an aqueous environment.
    • Some hematite replacement erases all traces of the original mineralogy.

Origin

Late Middle English: via Latin from Greek haimatitēs (lithos) 'blood-like (stone)', from haima, haimat- 'blood'.
