{wiki=Category:Magnetic_minerals}
Magnetic minerals are naturally occurring minerals that exhibit magnetic properties due to the alignment of their internal magnetic moments, usually arising from the presence of iron or other transition metals in their crystal structure. These minerals can be classified based on their magnetic behavior into three main categories: 1. **Ferromagnetic Minerals**: These minerals exhibit strong magnetic properties and can become permanently magnetized. Common examples include magnetite (Fe3O4) and pyrrhotite.
