Magnetite, Hematite,  Limonite, and Siderite are the four major iron ores. 

  1.  Magnetite (Fe3O4) is the richest of the common iron minerals which contain 72.4% iron. It is darker than hematite and it varies from deep dark brown to blackish in color.
  2.  Hematite (Fe2O3) nearly contains 70% iron and is mostly reddish. Some hematite is almost black or even blue.
  3. Limonite (2Fe2O3.3H2O) or brown ore. It contains 60% iron content. Its colour ranges from yellow to dark.
