- An oxide of iron that is strongly attracted by magnets
- Magnetite is a ferrimagnetic mineral with chemical formula Fe3O4, one of several iron oxides and a member of the spinel group. The chemical IUPAC name is iron(II,III) oxide and the common chemical name ferrous-ferric oxide. ...
- (geology) A magnetic mineral, Fe3O4, one of the primary ores of iron. It has also been called lodestone
- A common Iron-containing mineral with ferromagnetic properties.
- Lodestone; an iron oxide (Fe3O4 ) magnetic pigment with low coercivity (400-450 oersteds)
- Fe3O4. An oxide of iron that forms under relatively oxidizing chemical conditions. See also ilmenite.
- A black iron oxide that can be polished to a lustrous surface.
- Magnetite is an iron oxide, which is so named for its strong magnetic property. It is a cubic mineral with the spinel type of structure. It can be distinguished from hematite by its streak - magnetite being black and hematite red. ...
- Iron oxide mineral (Fe3O4). Usually tiny black, metallic crystals. Magnetite will attract a magnet and sometimes, in a rock, a hiker's compass needle.
