EISCO Magnetite Specimen (Mineral), Approx. 1" (3cm) - Pack of 12
Brand: EISCO
Magnetite forms as an accessory mineral from an igneous melt. As magnetite cools, the iron in its atomic structure becomes magnetized. When forming igneous rocks, grains of magnetite align themselves with the earth's magnetic field, preserving a record of the field's direction. This has been useful in determining how often the magnetic field has switched directions over the course of Earth's history.
