Rock is generally an insulator. Note that the color of a rock is usually not a good indicator of is composition of properties.

Can magnetite conduct electricity?

Steel, iron, copper, aluminum and all other metals conduct electricity very well compared to most other compounds. With the discoveries in solid state physics of the 20th century we learned that metals are collections of atoms which have somewhat unusually properties of the electrons. In metals the outermost electron (sometimes two) is not specifically associated with that one atom but is free to associate with atoms far and wide. We say these are delocalized electrons. Since the electrons are not attached to specific atoms, it takes very little energy to move them. As a result, any small voltage causes electron flow in a metal. This movement or flow of electrons is called electricity so this is why metals conduct electricity. Aside: Metals are not the only materials that conduct electricity, they just do it especially well.
