Early compasses, known as "lodestones," were made from naturally magnetized pieces of iron ore. These lodestones, when suspended or floated on water, would align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field, consistently pointing towards the magnetic north. By utilizing this property, ancient mariners and navigators could determine direction and improve their navigation. The use of lodestones dates back to ancient China and Greece, where they were essential for maritime exploration.
