Best Answer

No type of magnetic mineral found in nature is properly called "platinum" by a chemist, because platinum is a chemical element and is not magnetic! The most common magnetic mineral found in nature is called "magnetite". It contains both iron (II) and iron (III) oxides in nearly constant proportions.
