fun fact again: most people know that iron, cobalt, and nickel are ferromagnetic, and at STP that's all you get as pure elements go; every other ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic thing is a compound

but if you go just slightly colder, pure gadolinium is also ferromagnetic! it's not ferromagnetic at STP because its Curie point is somewhere around 18 °C
