As stated before from @riotpoliec, this may be a safety hazard and not just a slight inconvenience.

  Agreed. Although, in this case at least some of the "dirt" actually originated from the Bucky Balls.

  Agreed. Its not only an inconvenience of getting dirty. Its a safety concern.

  While this is true about magnets, the coating of these Bucky Balls also was chipping off leaving residue.

  These were the original. Not silver.

  Thank you. I always strive to articulate my English and use correct grammar. You obviously have other values. Also, I assume you were referring to Harvard University as opposed to "Hartford" since it's a well known prestigious school.

  I agree that the plating is mostly what rubs off. Although after the plating is gone the material under that is black and I can rub it off against a surface.

@epicfail320

I appreciate your insight. I ignorantly called the residue that rubbed off "graphite" when further research clearly reveals the magnets are made of neodymium. I have made the appropriate annotations to correct my error.

Thank You!

  As stated before, there would be no motivation for me to do this. I really enjoyed buckyballs so why would I put grease on them and video it? I wouldn't.

  What would be my motivation to put grease on buckyballs then upload a video? I assure you this was real.

The magnets still work, the finish just wears off the tips.

  @PIELOVER6 They touch and rub together regardless of how they are handled. I squeezed them just to demonstrate. The very fact that they are magnets dictates they will rub and create friction. This has been a reported problem.
