      <div align="justify">Since the first reports on intrinsically
        magnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials in 2017 [1,2], the
        price-to-pay for accessing their monolayers is still the lack of
        ambient stability. <br>
        We discovered in a mineral aggregate – mainly composed of
        hematite, magnetite, and chalcopyrite – soft layers of which
        macroscopic flakes easily could be peeled off that stuck to a
        permanent magnet. Employing mechanical exfoliation, we succeeded
        in thinning and transferring micrometer sized – mainly
        hexagonally shaped – flakes to SiO2 substrates. Energy
        dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed magnesium and
        silica as major components of the flakes. Raman spectroscopy
        indicated the presence of hydroxide groups, pointing towards
        talc, a hydrated magnesium phyllosilicate mineral, namely talc
        (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2). Long-term EDS and Raman spectroscopy revealed
        that in the flakes about 10 % of the Mg atoms are substituted by
        Fe which clusters into about 20 nm regions according to scanning
        transmission electron microscopy (STEM). With atomic force
        microscopy, a minimum flake thickness of 1 nm was determined
        indicating cleavage down to a talc monolayer. Combined magnetic
        force microscopy (MFM) measurements in external out-of-plane
        fields up to 0.5 T and SQUID magnetometry measurements imply
        that the 2D Fe-rich talc exhibits weak ferromagnetic behavior.
        The flakes are also showing long-term stability under ambient
        conditions in contrast to the 2D magnets reported so far [3]. In
        an outlook, it will be demonstrated that also other iron rich
        phyllosilicates can serve as a platform for 2D magnetism.
