Magnetite. It is a black colored mineral that is naturally magnetic. It is composed of Fe3O4. It can be found in beach sand in many places, for example Santa Cruz, California has magnetite beach sand that was once mined for its iron content. The magnetite sands in South Africa are still mined for iron.
