Haematite is a mineral of iron(III) oxide Fe₂O₃. It is the most important ore of iron and usually occurs in two main forms: as a massive red kidney-shaped ore and as grey to black metallic crystals known as specular iron ore. Haematite is the major red colouring agent in rocks; the largest deposits are of sedimentary origin. In industry haematite is also used as a polishing agent (jeweller’s rouge) and in paints.

natron → natron

natural gas → prirodni plin

Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons. The approximate composition of natural gas is 85 % methane, 10 % ethane, 3 % propane, with lesser amounts of butane, and other higher alkanes. Natural gas is used as a fuel and for the manufacture of chemicals.

natural resins → prirodne smole

Natural resins are organic compounds which are secreted by some plants and insects. They are used as adhesives, and are very often unsoluble in water.
