Chrome Chromite is an oxide mineral composed of chromium, iron and oxygen, dark gray to black with high specific gravity. Commercial chromite deposits large enough for mining are generally found in stratiform and podiform deposits. Chromite ore is mined in over 20 countries, but about 80% originates in 4 countries: South Africa, India, Kazakhstan and Turkey. Chromite, being …
