Magnetite is one of the main iron ores, and is a member of the Spinel group. It is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth, and is known as ferromagnetic, which means it is attracted to a magnet.
Magnetite can also be found to be naturally magnetized, thus attracting metals, making it a permanent magnet itself. When this occurs the mineral is then referred to by the name Lodestone Magnetite. In nature they can be found covered in small pieces of iron filings that they have attracted, and this was how ancient people first noticed the property of magnetism. The process by which Lodestone is created is an open question in geology, the leading theory is that Lodestones are magnetized by the strong magnetic fields surrounding lightning bolts. This is supported by the observation that they are mostly found near the surface of the Earth, rather than buried at great depth.
ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions.
