Here is the answer dude ↙️↙️↙️↙️

Magnetite, a common oxide mineral, is also an important ore of iron found in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. 

Uses

Most importantly magnetite is mined as an ore of iron, according to The Mineral and Gemstone Kingdom.  The iron is then used to make steel; this is the ore's main use. 

Magnetite is also used as a micronutrient in fertilizers, an aggregate in high-density concrete, a toner in electro-photography and as a pigment in paint.  Mineral collectors favor magnetite for its crystals, and scientists take an interest in magnetite for its magnetic properties. 

Water jet cutting uses finely ground magnetite as an abrasive. 

hope this helps you dude ✌️✌️✌️✌️

Magnetite, a common oxide mineral, is also an important ore of iron found in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Easy to identify, magnetite is an opaque, black metallic to sub-metallic mineral with the most magnetic properties of all natural metals. Magnetite is sometimes auto-magnetized and attracts metal objects.
