oxides
oxides A group of minerals in which oxygen is combined with one or more metals to give simple and multiple oxides respectively. Simple oxides include
hematite (Fe
2O
3),
rutile (TiO
2), and zincite (ZnO). Multiple oxides include the
spinels (MgAl
2O
4) and hydrated oxides, e.g.
goethite (FeO.OH). Oxides are economically important and are the principal sources of tin (SnO
2), iron (Fe
2O
3, Fe
3O
4), chromium (FeCr
2O
4), titanium (TiO
2), manganese (MnO
2), and aluminium (Al
2O
3.2H
2O). Oxides are relatively high-temperature minerals occurring in association with a variety of
igneous rocks. They may also form as chemical precipitates in oxidized environments.
