I've played with natural lodestones - they weren't

And they don't stay magnetized consistently either.

Small, strong, neodymium/rare earth magnets are
turning up everywhere these days.

They are recyclable too, since neodymium is fairly expensive and recovery
is worth the trouble.  My employer grinds hard drives up and sells the
resulting powder to companies whcih recover the neodymium alloy.

Keep them out of the hands of children. Swallowing
one will generally not be a problem, but if two
are swallowed, they will snap together in different
loops of intestine, and cause necrosis and perforation.

As you say, they are turning up everywhere these days.  Sometimes they are
turning up inside cats, dogs, and children.

They are good for cows, though.
