Goethite
Formula: α-Fe3+O(OH)
Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
Description: Hematite is widespread through the massif. Many veins, sometimes more than 50 meters long run vertical towards the top. Hematite specimens can sometimes be found under unrooted trees. The particularity is that each vein has his own crystal form. Locally they are known as " la platte, la carrée, la mammelonnée " etc ... So in one vein, you only find one form. There's no mixture of forms in the veins.
