Comments:Erronously described as martite, hematite pseudomorph after magnetite. Some are weakly magnetic and shows a pseudocubic habitus. Raade has showed that these are in fact common hematite, no pseudomorph, but hematite with a content of Ttanium.-
Habit:some showing a psedocubic habitus. Forms observed:{10-11}, {0001}, {11-20}, {10-10} and {01-12}
