La magnétite, ou fer oxydulé, est un spinelle noir ferromagnétique; elle constitue la pierre d'aimant. C'est un excellent minerai de fer. 5, record 1, French, - magn%C3%A9tite
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La magnétite est le plus riche des minerais de fer dont on tire ce métal [le spinelle]; c'est un composé de fer ferreux et ferrique cristallisant dans le système cubique. Ses cristaux simples se présentent le plus souvent sous forme d'octaèdres. Mais ce minéral se rencontre plus généralement en masses compactes microgranulaires, à faible éclat métallique et de couleur noire [...] On appelle ainsi la magnétite parce qu'elle est fortement attirée par un aimant. 6, record 1, French, - magn%C3%A9tite
