1. Chromite

   Chromite is a crystalline mineral composed primarily of iron(II) oxide and chromium(III) oxide compounds. It can be represented by the chemical formula of FeCr2O4. It is an oxide mineral belonging to the spinel group. The element magnesium can substitute for iron in variable amounts as it forms a solid solution with magnesiochromite (MgCr2O4). A substitution of the element aluminium can also occur, leading to hercynite (FeAl2O4). Chromite today is mined particularly to make stainless steel through the production of ferrochrome (FeCr), which is an iron-chromium alloy.Chromite grains are commonly found in large mafic igneous intrusions such as the Bushveld in South Africa and India. Chromite is iron-black in color with a metallic luster, a dark brown streak and a hardness on the Mohs scale of 5.5.

1. chromite

   Chromite is a brownish-black or dark brown mineral that is a source of chromium. It has a chemical formula of FeCr2O4 and crystallizes in the isometric system. It is found in basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks and in the metamorphic and sedimentary rocks that are produced when these rocks are weathered. Chromite is a significant component in the manufacturing of stainless steel and is critical in the production of refractories which are used in high-temperature industrial applications.
