Lodestone was man's first encounter of magnetism that has been used for early made compasses in china.]]> 2019-11-11 15:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409494301 What were the first uses of Lodestone? everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409496429 Lodestone was first used in China as early as  300 BC. They used pieces of lodestone and suspended them from a simple piece of string and served as one of the first compasses ever made and used in China. When The piece of lodestone is hung on a piece of string the lodestone aligns itself with Earth's magnetic field.]]> 2019-11-11 15:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409496429 How can Lodestone identified? everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409501320 Lodestone can be easy to identify because it's usually covered with small magnetic particles sticking to the lodestone all around it because of lodestone magnetism.]]> 2019-11-11 15:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409501320 Cited Sources everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409503039 Geology.com]]> 2019-11-11 15:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409503039 Properties of lodestone. everett_smith31 https://padlet.com/everett_smith31/i8yjj9g2rg5l/wish/409504476 Lodestones color is a black to silvery gray rock and the chemical classification of lodestone is Oxide. The crystal system of lodestone is Isometric. Lodestone is also the studies of Earth's magnetic field.
