    This mineral does not always look like this. Sometimes it does have a less flaky look with that being said I agree that it could also be hematite. Hematite is not often magnetic, but this gets easily confused with Magnetite which is always magnetic. Hypo after further review I agree with you and am 95% positive that it is hematite as well.
