I don't understand why places only sell 1 lodestone, I was taught to always work with 2; 1 to attract luck and positive blessings, the other to repel negativity and loss. Others say 1 is male the other female and they are used as a pair to attract love and keep it loyal and true. Pieces of lodestone, suspended so they could spin, were the first magnetic compasses and their importance to early navigation is indicated by the name lodestone, which in Middle English means 'course stone' or 'leading stone'. Lodestone is one of only two minerals that is found naturally magnetized. Lodestones are prized in folk-magic traditions for their power. You will receive 2 small lodestones with a helping of magnetic sand to keep them fed.  These are a vital ingredient in the practice of hoodoo. They have been used since ancient times by the Romans, Chinese, Mohamedans, and other cultures, for their drawing power of love, luck, money, favors, power and gifts. Lodestones are believed to be magnetized by lightening bolts which is why they are only found on the earth's surface. Keep two in a box or jar on your altar. One should add more iron sand or iron filings to them regularly to keep them in good w orking order. You can feed them and add them to gris gris, mojo, charm, or nation sacks for extra power and fast work.  Good Luck! thanks for looking!
