Hello Don
Others may correct me, but I do not believe hemalyke can be magnitized. On the other hand, in nature, various forms of Hematite can be mildly magnetic but it can be made strongly magnetic through a heat treatment process.
Do you know how that heat treatment is done? Is it something we can
do at home?
