Disclosed is a magnetic material in which 50% by volume of the magnetic particles are accounted for by the main phase of the magnet, the main phase having a Curie temperature (Curie point) of 200° C. or higher, a saturation magnetic-flux density at around 20° C. of 1.0 T (tesla) or higher, and a coercive force of 10 kOe or higher, the crystal structure of the main phase being stable up to 200° C., and in which phases other than the main phase which are present at the grain boundaries or grain surfaces have stabilized or improved the magnetic properties. This magnetic material comprises two ferromagnetic phases, i.e., a ferromagnetic compound which is composed of fluorine, iron, and one or more rare-earth elements including yttrium and ferromagnetic iron which contains fluorine, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, or boron. A fluoride and an oxyfluoride have been formed at some of the boundaries or surfaces of the grains of the ferromagnetic phases.
