Iron oxide minerals.
Lodestone is Fe3O4-also called magnetite.
Iron oxide is made up of iron and oxygen combined together. There are three types of iron oxide viz., Iron(II) oxide (FeO) occasionally referred to as 'greenstone' , because it is slightly green in colour. Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) commerically referred to as iron ore. It is the most common and stable of the oxides of iron. Iron(IV)Oxide (Fe3O4) known as magnetite. Because a rod or bar of it will orientate towards the north pole. Historically it was named 'lodestone'.
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.
Why yes! Lodestone is magnetic! Lodestone is a form of iron. : )

Lodestone or magnetite is a magnetic type of Iron oxide ore.double click on lodestone or magnetite for an answer tips definition.
Lodestone is Fe3O4-also called magnetite.
Lodestone is a naturally magnetized piece of magnetite, which is a naturally occurring iron oxide. Lodestone's can be black or gray with a brownish tint and is brittle and broken.
Magnetite, an iron oxide mineral is magnetic. It is also called 'lodestone'.
Lodestone is another term for magnetite, a naturally magnetic iron oxide mineral.
The first known magnets were naturally-occuring magnetic rocks called lodestones. Lodestone is composed of magnetite, an easily-magnetized solid mixture of Iron (II) oxide and Iron (III) oxide. Lodestone's magnetism is induced by the planetary magnetic field generated by the Earth's core. It was soon discovered that pieces of iron metal could be magnetized by stroking them with a lodestone.
