The possibility that the very broad structure (VBS) observed in the visible region of the interstellar extinction curve arises from magnetite particles is investigated. Small magnetite particles show structure at 1.8/micron which resembles the VBS. However, they also produce structure at around 1.4/micron, structure which is not observed in the interstellar medium. Magnetite remains a plausible candidate for the source of the VBS but the evidence is far from compelling.
