"Rock magnetism is the term commonly applied to the study of the magnetic properties of rocks and minerals, how these properties depend on factors such as grain size and shape, temperature and pressure, and the origin and characteristics of the different types of . Although all minerals possess some magnetic properties, even if only paramagnetic or diamagnetic, the term ‘magnetic minerals’ is used here only for those minerals which are capable of carrying remanent magnetism."
