These magnets are so powerful you will get a blood blister if any flesh is between the surfaces when you put one within 4 to 6 inches of iron. VERY difficult to remove from an even metal surface. THE most intense magnet I have come across. The Pasamonte individual is the 12.6g oriented whole stone of Ninninger fame. I carefully held it as I slowly approached it with the magnet with NO discernable effect clear up to contact. However, when I very precariously ballanced the stone on its side in my hand and slowly approached it with the magnet, it did lean toward it when it got within about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. That's my report from San Diego.

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering -- When Jesus said "Love your enemies" I think he probably meant don't kill them.
