Andreas Kermann / Getty Images. Magnetite (or lodestone) is a common accessory mineral in coarse-grained igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. It may be gray-black or have a rusty coating. Crystals are common, with striated faces shaped in octahedrons or dodecahedrons. Look for a black streak and a strong attraction to a magnet.

Georgia has a vast geologic history covering at least 1 billion years. During this time, the formation and erosion of mountain ranges, dramatic climactic changes, several episodes of flooding by the sea, and volcanic eruptions have influenced the state's geology.The geologic history of Georgia is not completely known or fully understood, and many significant questions remain.

Sand at Great Sand Dunes is made up of a variety of minerals, as can be seen if you look closely at a pinch of sand. One of the more obvious and interesting components of the sand is magnetite, a mineral that has eroded out of the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This black mineral is composed of iron oxide, so magnets are able to pick it up.

Mineralization: There are black ribbons of coal-like material along the small washes on the trail or as horizontal stripes in the rocks. This magnetic material is called magnetite (iron oxide). It is the only mineral which shows strong magnetism. Magnetite was named for Magnes, a Greek shepherd, who discovered the mineral on Mount Ida, Australia.
