Hematite was identified as a mineral a long time ago. It is iron(III) ore or ferric oxide (FE2O3). The name hematite was derived from the Greek word “hema”, which means blood, because of the reddish color of the first hematite that was found. Some early cultures believed that hematite formed from blood of soldiers killed in the battlefield, and for this reason it was revered.
According the Klein (2002) the properties of hematite are listed as follows:
1. A Hexagonal crystal System
2. Five to five and a half hardness
3. Reddish brown to black in color
4. Usually contains a red streak
5. A specific gravity of 5.26
6. Produces a metallic luster in crystal form
7. Produces a dull luster in earthy varieties.

It was announced in the British press recently that children in the UK state education system were to be provided with tuition on basic life skills, including how to manage finance, pensions and insurance.
Some of us have been complaining for years that the school system in UK has woefully neglected the economical health of our young adults by omitting to teach them the fundamentals of check book management.
Imagine being thrown into college or university at the end of one’s school career, with a loan from the government in the form of a grant, which means that one is already at the receiving end of bank charges, and not being shown even a rudimentary level of how to go about managing the documentation such obligations entail.
