  • Understanding Magnetic Stones: Types, Properties & Uses
    * Magnetite: Magnetite is the most common magnetic mineral. It is a black, iron oxide mineral that is strongly magnetic. Magnetite is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and it is also the main component of lodestones.

    * Hematite: Hematite is a red, iron oxide mineral that is weakly magnetic. Hematite is found in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

    * Pyrrhotite: Pyrrhotite is a bronze-colored, iron sulfide mineral that is moderately magnetic. Pyrrhotite is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.

    * Franklinite: Franklinite is a black, iron, zinc, and manganese oxide mineral that is strongly magnetic. Franklinite is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.

    * Lodestone: Lodestone is a naturally magnetized piece of magnetite. Lodestones are found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
