A heavy bucket is filled with black ore.

Found on the ground in the room "An exposed vein of magnetite" with Ferromancer Ignicar.

Drop this in room "Above the mouth of the furnace" to spawn A Newly Formed Ironbeast ("Still bright and fluid from the forge, yellow molten iron takes shape!!") in the "Pools of Iron" rooms:

 A bucketful of black ore pours off the precipice, and into the blast furnace.
 
 
 Yet more acrid smoke billows out of the furnace as ore begins to melt
 and mingle in its belly.
 
 Something metallic creaks and echoes from below. You can see a fresh batch
 of white hot iron spilling out of the furnace, and into a network of pools.
 While hard to see from this height, the iron seems to have a life of its own!

When killed, that mob yields about 460 xp solo and drops the Pulsing Soul of a Fire Giant, a level 51 item which may be given to White Raven Alighting Unseen for the Fiery Nimbus insignia (+15% death xp reduction; +2% mana regeneration; modifies melee attacks with fire damage).
