Lodestones are stones or bits of a magnetic rock called magnetite. So basically they behave like a compass. Before modern compasses were developed, the primitive traveller would have a lodestone on the end of a string, and one end would always point magnetic north. You can make your own lodestone by tying a bar magnet to a piece of string, that really is all there is to it.
