Answer
I'm dealing with the same question in the moment and as far as I can tell the answers depends strongly on the samples structure, especially if it is a powder, e.g. cabonyl iron powders (approx. 96% iron) have 4.5<e'<6.5 and 0<e''<1 (e= e'-ie'') at frequencies 8<f<18 GHz [1]. Dispersions of magnetic iron fibers on the other hand have much higher permittivity depending on their size, 5<e'<65, 0<e''<12, 2.6<f<4 GHz [2].
