A lodestone is an iron ore that behaves as a permanent magnet. A protolodestone is an iron ore capable of being charged sufficiently strongly to behave as a permanent magnet. In the present paper, important criteria are established which distinguish lodestones from other iron ores. Magnetic hysteresis-loop data provide evidence that the massive pieces of lodestone behave magnetically as fine intergrowths rather than coarse multidomain material. This means that the iron ores have been magnetically hardened. The nature and scale of the hardening microstructure is illustrated by photo micrographs. The mechanism of charging the protolodestone appears to be either transient magnetic fields with lightning-discharge currents, or presently obscure aspects of magnetization intensity enhancement associated with maghemitization of massive iron ores.
