Magnetite is an iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe₃O₄. It is the most magnetic naturally-occurring mineral on Earth and is an important iron ore. It has an iron content of up to 72.4 percent, which explains why it is such a commonly mined iron ore. Magnetite can be found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.
