Magnets, Large

The Science

Price mentioned is for a single magnet.

Hematite is a form of iron oxide, which ranges in color from black to brown to red. Hematite is harder than pure iron, but much more brittle. Huge deposits of hematite are found in banded iron formations.

Grey hematite is typically found in places where there has been standing water or mineral hot springs, such as those in Yellowstone National Park. Hematite can also occur without water, usually as the result of volcanic activity.
