Granite can be slightly magnetic. If you bring rare earth magnet towards it, the magnet attracts. Especially if it is mined from India.

Oxides of iron and titanium are responsible for this.

Granite is typically not magnetic due to its composition of mainly quartz, feldspar, and mica. However, some types of granite may contain small amounts of magnetic minerals like magnetite or hematite, which can make them exhibit weak magnetic properties.
