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 2, Spanish, - cromita
