Hematite
An iron-oxide mineral (Fe2O3) that may be the cause of the red colour on Mars. Courser-grained grey hematite has the same chemical formula as the red variety, but a different crystalline structure. The deposits of grey hematite found in the Terra Meridiani region of Mars may suggest that water once circulated through the region's rock layers.
