What is the difference between Magnetite and Hematite?
• Magnetite has the chemical formula of FeO·Fe2O3 or Fe3O4. Chemical formula of hematite is Fe2O3.
• Magnetite iron is in +2 and +3 oxidation states whereas, in hematite, it is only in +3 oxidation state.
• Magnetite has higher iron content than hematite; therefore, its quality is higher.
• Magnetite is black in color, but hematite has a variety of colors.
• Hematite is a component of rust but magnetite is not.
• Magnetite is a naturally strong magnet, but in hematite magnetism occurs upon heating.
• Magnetite has a black streak, whereas hematite has a reddish brown streak.
• Hematite has a rhombododecahedral crystal structure. Magnetite commonly shows octrahedral crystal structure.
