hematite (mineral) (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A metallic black-gray or dark red mineral primarily composed of iron oxide found throughout the world, although the largest source is a sedimentary deposit in the Lake Superior district in North America. It occurs in many physical forms: specular ore (steel gray color, shiny crystals); micaceous hematite (gray, scaly flakes), red ocher (soft, fine-grain, red powder); kidney ore (massive, gray botryoidal form), and pencil ore (gray, fibrous crystals). Because hematite has a high iron content (70%), it is primarily used for smelting iron. It also has been used since ancient times as a red pigment in paints and glazes, for seals, beads, and small carvings since the early 3rd millineum. It is also used as jewelers' rouge for polishing glass and to produce the sparkle in aventurine ceramic glazes.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 灰黑或深紅色的金屬礦物，主成分為氧化鐵，遍佈世界各地，最豐富的礦藏來源是北美洲蘇必略湖區的沉積礦床。具有多種物理形式：鏡鐵礦（鋼灰色，晶體具光澤）、雲母赤鐵礦（灰色，鱗狀薄片）、黏土質赤鐵（質軟、細顆粒的紅色粉末)、腎鐵礦（塊狀、灰色、外型似葡萄狀)，及筆鐵礦 (灰色、纖維狀晶體)。由於赤鐵礦的鐵含量高（百分之七十），因此主要用於煉鐵，亦自遠古時代起便做為繪畫與釉料的紅色顏料使用。遠在西元前三千年早期，就用於製作圖章、珠串與小型雕刻品。也被珠寶商當作鐵丹使用，用來拋光玻璃或在金星玻璃釉上製造出光澤。 |
