[meteorite-list] magnetic nantan?

[Moser Francesco]

HI !!!

What you think about???

...About two years ago, I came across some fantastic meteorites that were 
very magnetic. These meteorites are from a famous witnessed fall in Nantan, 
China, in 1516, and are composed mostly of magnetite and iron/nickel,....

Take a look at the pictures at the end of the auction!!!
It's looks like Nantan but works like a strong magnet!!

Is Nantan natural magnetic???
If isn't magnetic, it's possible to induce a magnetic dipole in a 
meteorite??



Thanks!
