- This naturally magnetized mineral creates it's own magnetic field and can pick up small metal objects. Iron particles cover its surface. As an iron oxide, lodestone has a characteristic black color, and may feature rusty patches of yellow or orange
- An excellent introductory mineral, and useful in teaching mineral chemistry and crystallography. This set of twelve samples is excellent for group study and examination
- Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
- Sourced from a variety of locations around the world
- Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
