Magnetite ore can be smelted at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated to produce iron bars. It is, for all metalsmithing purposes, identical to hematite and limonite.

Magnetite is one of only 3 types of stones that can contain native platinum. It is also the only metal ore to occur as large clusters (~750 pieces on average). Because of its high material value compared to other types of stone that occur in large quantities (and the fact that you're probably going to want to mine it out anyways), magnetite clusters make excellent sites for high-value rooms.

 '''Magnetite''' ore can be smelted at a [[smelter]] by a dwarf with the [[furnace operating]] labor activated to produce [[iron]] bars.
 It is, for all metalsmithing purposes, identical to [[hematite]] and [[limonite]].
-Magnetite is one of only 3 types of stones that can contain [[platinum nuggets]]. It is also the only metal [[ore]] to occur as [[large cluster]]s (~750 pieces on average).  Because of its high material value compared to other types of stone that occur in large quantities, and the fact that you're probably going to want to mine it out anyway, this makes a magnetite ore body a prime candidate for making a high-value room.  A plain magnetite ore body with no platinum, no stone detailing, and a single table and chair automatically qualifies as a Grand Dining Room; with good furniture and/or smoothing and engraving, its value will quickly surpass Royal level.

-== Magnetite and real world geology ==
-Although Magnetite seems to have no special properties at this time in Dwarf Fortress it is reasonable to assume that some have been contemplated. In real word geology magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals. For further reference see Wikipedia's article on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite Magnetite ]
