Magnetite is used in many ways. Magnetite can be used as magnets, which can be used for more than just keeping paper on the fridge. It can be used to generate electricity, keep trains on the tracks, and guide your way in the wilderness.
Magnetite particles are used for the magnetic recording of hard disks, floppy disks, and other recording media. It is used as a catalyst in the processing of ammonia. It is also used to remove arsenic from water.
Hematite is used in rouge makeup and polish because of its red pigment (remember, it has a red to red-brown streak!) Also it is used for ore of iron for steel tools, vehicles, nails and bolts and bridges.
Steel, science fair projects, and for magnets
Magnetite was once the number one ore for the production of iron.
Magnetite is mainly an ore in the production of iron.
Mostly as iron ore. == ==

The diaphaneity of magnetite is opaque.
Magnetite has fracture not cleavage. ChaCha on!
Magnetite is classified as an oxide.
A lodestone or loadstone is a piece of magnetite that has become naturally magnetized, unlike ordinary magnetite which is merely attracted by magnets. Recent research suggests that only magnetite with a specific structure can become lodestones. William Gilbert used lodestones, as well as artificial magnets, in his studies on magnetism.
it is used for magnets. :)

My son who is in 3rd grade is studying magnetite and he has been told that magnetite can be used as a gunpowder and of course that is magnetic.
No, magnetite is used in magnets. Gold is used in jewelery.
Magnetite is a mineral that is naturally magnetized. Sometimes called 'lodestone'. Magnetite is hard, shiny, black, and is often used in jewellery.
The mineral magnetite is also known as lodestone, a name also used for pieces of the ore that are natural magnets. Magnetite consists of iron (II,III) oxide with the formula Fe3O4.

Magnetite is Fe3O4.

Magnetite has a metallic luster.
