Magnetite is an oxide of iron which occurs in igneous rocks, and in veins and replacement deposits; it is one of the most important ores of iron.
It usually occurs as a coarse, granular mass of black octahedral crystals, and produces a black streak.
Magnetite is permanently magnetic, and was the first magnetic material to be discovered, known then as lodestone.
