Karbiide
Karbiide is an iron ore mineral composed primarily of iron(III) oxide, with the chemical formula Fe2O3. It is a naturally occurring form of hematite, one of the main sources of iron ore worldwide. The mineral typically appears in a range of colors, including red, reddish-brown, or black, depending on impurities and surface oxidation.
Karbiide is characterized by its metallic luster and opaque appearance. It crystallizes in the rhombohedral system
This mineral forms through the oxidation of iron-rich minerals in various geological environments, including sedimentary deposits,
Due to its high iron content, karbiide is extensively mined as a primary source of iron. The
Environmental considerations related to karbiide mining include habitat disturbance and pollution, prompting ongoing efforts to develop
