Magnetic properties

Magnetic properties of minerals and rocks /ˈmæɡˈnɛtɪk ˈprɒpərtiz əv ˈmɪnərəlz ənd rɒks/ a set of properties that characterize the ability of minerals and rocks to be magnetized in an external magnetic field.

Ex. The study of the magnetic properties of minerals and rocks is an important aspect of the mining industry, as it allows them to determine their composition and structure using magnetic methods, which in turn helps in the search for minerals and determine the geological structure of deposits.
