Soil is structure, moisture, biology, chemistry, and energy. The energy
component is generally overlooked. One of the energy components is the
magnetic field that flows through the surface of the earth. Paramagnetic
substances are not magnetic, but they respond to magnetic fields by aligning and
conducting. Granite and basalt frequently display these characteristics.
  The fractured granite based soils where I am have paramagnetic qualities
which can be measured. The best book on the subject is _Paramagnetism_

2) Effects of low-frequency forces upon soils, plants, people. by Dr
Phil Callahan. He shows some very simple tests to demonstrate the
phenomenon.

that granite dust was a good input for red soil - but have only seen one
reference to it.
