    lastly to explain hot and cool red and blue colours in relation to hematite and their correlation......There is none.......external factors play a big part.

    ie, cover, faulting, age, erosion, earths polarity at time of formation

    Since the emplacement the granite has been exposed to several alteration
    processes. The fresh granite shows a ferrimagnetic bulk susceptibility (1 < k <
    24 x 10-3 SI-units) and an oblate magnetic ellipsoid with magnetic anisotropy factor
    P` ranging between 1.1 and 1.2. This primary magnetic fabric is related to the
    magma flow during crystallisation of magnetite. With increasing alteration of magnetite
    into hematite (martite) due to an early, pervasive and a later rift-related alteration
    the bulk susceptibility (k < 1 x 10-3 SI-units) and the magnetic anisotropy is
    reduced (P`< 1.1). Oblate as well as prolate shapes of the ellipsoid occur. Optical microscopy,
    scanning electron microscopy, image analyses and temperature-dependent
    magnetic susceptibility measurements were used to characterise the decomposition
    of magnetite to martite. This transformation is graduallly and starts with the growth
    of hematite platelets relative to the {111} planes of magnetite and create an increasingly
    disordered arrangement of small hematite grains within the former 400
    micrometer-sized magnetite grains. The decomposition is also reflected in measurements
    of temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility (k(T)). While k(T)-curves in
    fresh granites indicate a typical reversible multi-domain magnetite course there is an
    inreasing irreversibility magnetite course in altered granites with single-domain behaviour.
    But no Curie temperature for hematite was observed. Along with this transformation,
    the degrees of the alteration index (k(T)cooling- k(T)heating) correlates
    with the fabric parameters.
