Most likely created from lightning strikes, a Lodestone (Fe3O4) is a naturally magnetic rare mineral. They were used in early navigation and thought to have magical properties.  It will easily attract ferrous objects such as needles, staples, iron filings, etc.   Hang the Lodestone by a thread and it will align with the north-south axis, the principle of the compass.  Included is a 1-2 inch stone and information.

Note:  This is a naturally occurring item. Size and shape is dependent on availability and will vary.
