Dolerite can be magnetic because it commonly contains magnetite, which is a naturally occurring mineral with magnetic properties. Magnetite is often present in small amounts in dolerite and can contribute to its magnetic properties. However, not all dolerite is necessarily magnetic, as the amount of magnetite present can vary from one rock sample to another. The degree of magnetism in dolerite can also depend on the concentration, size, and distribution of magnetite grains within the rock.
