Black Sand Magnetizes To Phone

: "I come from the land of golden sands….IDC this is magic. My daughter and I were at a black sand beach in Ruapuke NZ. We’re on holiday from Sydney, Aus and we only have golden or white sand beaches. She accidentally got sand on her phone and showed me how it magnetised to her front screen. We got really excited so we decided to film it to send to her sisters who weren’t with us, which is why we say, 'watch this, girls look what we found.' She filmed while I showed them how the sand magnetises to the back of the phone. Individually, we know what magnets, iron, and magnetic charging are, but to find it in nature in its natural state was a discovery for us. When we posted on TikTok half of the comments were about magnetic charging and the other was about iron in the sand."
