Definitions and meanings of "Magnetite"

What do we mean by magnetite?

The mineral form of black iron oxide, Fe3O4, that often occurs with magnesium, zinc, and manganese and is an important ore of iron. noun

Magnetic oxid of iron; a black oxid of iron (Fe3O4 or FeO.Fe2O3) which is strongly attractable by a magnet. noun

An oxide of iron (Fe3O4) occurring in isometric crystals, also massive, of a black color and metallic luster. It is readily attracted by a magnet and sometimes possesses polarity, being then called loadstone. It is an important iron ore. Called also magnetic iron. noun

A magnetic mineral, Fe3O4, one of the primary ores of iron. It has also been called lodestone. noun

An oxide of iron that is strongly attracted by magnets noun

A magnetic mineral, Fe3O4, one of the primary ores of iron. It has also been called lodestone.
