    Description

    NATIVE IRON ORE POWDER
    Up for auction is Native Iron powder. This material collects in streambeds
    during rainstorms. Originally from the Iron rich mountains, the flowing water
    brings this down and it collects in areas where the terrain forms natural sluce
    beds where it deposits. This is not pure Iron but rather Iron ore. It is Iron Oxide
    in composition, Fe3O4, also known as Magnetite. It has been
    painstakingly collected from dry stream beds using magnets. Once sifted it is
    cleaned three more times by magnetic separation. Being a natural product it is
    possible to find grains of sand mixed in with the Iron even after three cleanings.
    This material glistens in the sun. This is strongly attracted to a magnet
    but is not magnetic in itself. A magnet was used in the photos.It is 99%+ pure
    Iron ore and ideal for science demonstrations with magnets. I have used it in
    pyrotechnic fountains and was impressed by the rich spray of Orange sparks.
    I finally got the chance to try this Iron in an aerial shell and was pleased with the
    results. As the shell exploded the Iron Oxide ignited and burned as it fell through
    the air to the ground (it almost reached the ground). The effect of a myriad of
    Orange sparks falling through the air was quite pleasing.
    Also ideal for use in metaphysics.
    Particle size is 30 to 70 mesh.
    This auction is for FIVE POUNDS (80 ounces).
