And the answer for the costs are little confusing as it depends from area to area and region to region.

It is found in rocks and soil. It is very expensive and it is made from iron oxide.

What are the features of Hematite?

• It is red or metallic grey that is metallic
• Its structure is the same as corundum and ilmenite
• It is variable in appearance and present in crystalline form
• The electric conductivity of hematite is low
• It is both metallic and submetallic
• It is not magnetic and used as heavy media separation
