Magnetite used to help the Warriors find confidence, courage, and a strengthened willpower. This is why it was used by warriors from various cultures.
It forms when lava cools and so can be found in places that have experienced volcanic eruptions. When it breaks it can produce fragments with amazingly sharp edges. Dodecahedral crystals are rare. These crystals may exhibit interesting combinations of octahedral and dodecahedral faces.
