Personally I like differentiating terrestrial iron from extra-terrestrial iron. Give meteoric iron a magical property.
Truly pure *anything* is actually pure fantasy without modern technology. If I could have a single spell to use commercially in the modern world, I'd go for "Purify water".

Do any of you know what water can cost, sufficiently purified?

:) $26/ 6.25 ml.

1 gallon of purified water? Worth about $16,000.

That's a good fatigue point spent, right?

Of course, you're going to want to dispense into the small 1.5 mL tubes first, then purify them all together.
