If a bar magnet were suspended, and allowed to come to rest, it would point in an approximately North-South direction. The end of the magnet that points towards the North was originally called the 'north-seeking pole', and the end that points towards the South was originally called the 'south-seeking pole'. Over time, we have dropped the use of the word, 'seeking', and now simply refer to them as the magnet's 'north' and 'south' poles which describe their magnetic polarities.
Magnets don't actually point in the direction of True North and True South (located at the earth's axis of rotation) but, rather, at Magnetic North and Magnetic South, which are locations that 'wobble' around True North and True South. Because of this, navigators have to allow for the difference between Magnetic North and True North in order to accurately plot a route.
Magnetic North does not refer to magnetic polarity, but is used to differentiate its location from that of True North.
Because 'unlike poles attract', the polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is a south magnetic pole -which is why the location attracts the north pole of a magnet or compass needle.
A magnet (from Greek μαγνήτις λίθος magnḗtis líthos, Magnesian stone)
it comes from the word magnet:>
The mineral magnetite is also known as lodestone, a name also used for pieces of the ore that are natural magnets. Magnetite consists of iron (II,III) oxide with the formula Fe3O4.

Magnetite has a metallic luster.
hematite, magnetite.
Magnetite is Iron and Oxygen. So no, it is considered an oxide.
Lodestone is a magnetized piece of magnetite and is sometimes referred to as magnetite. Lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet that attracts iron.

Magnetite is Fe3O4.
The diaphaneity of magnetite is opaque.

Magnetite was found on the mountain of Mount Ida.
The formula for magnetite is Fe3O4. Magnetite is a mineral found in nature in the form of iron oxides. This ore is a natural magnet.
Magnetite has fracture not cleavage. ChaCha on!
Magnetite is Iron and Oxygen. So no, it is considered an oxide.
Magnetite is classified as an oxide.
