Il est rare de trouver les chromites bien cristallisées; on les voit plus généralement en masses grenues de dureté d = 5,5 et dont la densité varie entre 4,5 et 5,0 [...] les chromites sont opaques et noir de fer. La poussière est noire avec un éclat submétallique. En esquilles très minces, elle peut être légèrement translucide.

La cromita es una espinela en forma de pequeños cristales con frecuencia acompañados de serpentina. Contiene de 44 a 64% de óxido crómico, de 19 a 38% de óxido férrico y de 0 a 18% de magnesia. Es el más importante de todos los minerales de cromo beneficiados y se usa también como materia refractaria, pues es muy poco fusible. 2, record 1, Spanish, - cromita

Dans les spirales Humphreys, une pulpe assez diluée descend un auget en spirale. Les particules sont soumises à une force centrifuge faible, mais la longueur de la spirale finit par les classer : les lourdes fines au centre sont déchargées par les robinets [...], les grosses légères remontent sur le bord, évitant les robinets et continuent jusqu'en bas. Il existe deux tailles de spirales, l'une pour les minéraux lourds, l'autre pour le charbon.
