looks like hematite

I agree with Terry, looks like raw hematite.

Thanks Terry as you nailed it. The high iron content certainly explains why it is so magnetic.
Thanks again & have a good one ......

Agree with hematite,

Despite its high iron content, hematite itself is not attracted to a magnet. However, magnetite is a common secondary mineral occurring with hematite, and that's what creates the attraction to a magnet.

Yep, magnetite/hematite.
