Description
The mineral Magnetite is an oxide of iron with valencies 2+ and 3+. The chemical formula is Fe3+2Fe2+O4. Magnetite is a grey-black, strongly magnetic natural mineral without cleavage, with an average density of 5.15. The hardness is 5.5 to 6. The mineral is not radioactive. The refractive index is 2.42, and the cubic mineral is isotropic. Under striking light, it appears grey with brown reflections. As early as antiquity, it was discovered that magnetite crystals attract or repel each other depending on their orientation. This physical phenomenon is called magnetism. In China, the magnetic properties of magnetite were already being utilized in the 11th century BC. The terms 'magnet', as a medieval designation for a magnetic stone, and 'magnetite', introduced by Wilhelm Haidinger in 1845, originated from the Latin root 'magnet-' (with the nominative 'magnes', magnet). Magnetic stones (Ancient Greek: λίθος μάγνης, lithos Magnes) were already known to the Greeks, according to the writings of Theophrastus. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder also mentions a stone called 'magnet', which is said to have been named after Magnes, a Cretan shepherd who found the mineral on Mount Ida. He noticed that the nails in his shoes and the iron head of his staff were attracted by the rock containing the mineral. Pliny distinguished between several types of magnets, particularly between “male” and “female”. Only the male possessed the power to attract iron, and was therefore the actual magnetite. Female magnets presumably involved manganese ore, which looks very much like magnetite, or a white mineral that was later called magnesite MgCO3. However, it is more likely that magnetite is named after Magnesia, a region in Thessaly, or after the city of Magnesia on the Meander, or also after other Greek or Asia Minor cities of the same name, where magnetic lumps of iron ore have been found for more than 2,500 years.
Therefore, good for RSI and carpal tunnel syndrome. How to use: Place the eggs or massage the skin and body with the eggs in the places where you feel it is most necessary. You can use the eggs several times a day and every day of the week. As a toy: Fantastic as singing eggs; toss both parts into the air, and when they meet again, the whole room will be filled with the sound of a rattlesnake. Warning: Not suitable for children under 5 years old. Be careful with pacemakers and credit cards.
