A lodestone is a mineral made




      of iron oxide that has natural



      magnetic properties.









      It will consistently align itself in



      a north-south direction.









      However since the lodestone



      uses magnets, the mariner’s




      compass pointed to



      the magnetic north pole




      instead of true north.
