These crystals of Magnetite from the Huanggang Mine in Inner Mongolia, China are simply HUGE. Magnetite is an oxide of iron and is a primary ore of iron. Magnetite is ferrimagnetic; it is attracted to a magnet and can be magnetized to become a permanent magnet itself. It is the most magnetic of all the naturally-occurring minerals on Earth. The Magnetite crystals on this specimen are of dodecahedral form, are black in color and have a metallic luster. Greenish (amphibole included), solution etched quartz crystals are associated with the magnetite. Dimensions (cm): 5.5 H x 12 W x 7 D.
