Also: Hematite group / Corundum group.
It's a slightly nontrivial hexagonal crystal structure.
Highly abundant elements
- Al2O3 Aluminium(III)_oxide - leukosapphire - (Sapphire and Ruby are colored variants) - 2,072°C - 3.987g/ccm - Mohs 9 (defining compound)
- Ti2O3 Titanium(III)_oxide - tristarite - 2,130°C (decomposes) - 4.49g/ccm - metallic luster - semiconducting to metallic at 200°C - Mohs 8.5
- Fe2O3 iron(III)_oxide Hematite - 5.3g/ccm - Mohs 5.5 to 6.5
More rare elements
- Cr2O3 eskolaite - 5.18g/ccm - Mohs 8 - metallic
