Is corundum magnetic?

Small traces of iron are responsible for much of the color found in corundum (saphire) gems. Ruby, however, does not contain iron and will not be affected by a magnet. To be technical however, I should point out that corundum is not magnetic. Corundum will not attract other pieces of iron to itself (as far as I know). To simply answer that corundum is not magnetic would have been misleading.
