What are lodestones, and how were they significant in ancient navigation?

Lodestones are naturally occurring magnets discovered in ancient times. They were significant because sailors used them as the basis for magnetic compasses, enabling navigation before modern instruments were invented. Class 6 NCERT Chapter 4 Exploring Magnets Session 2024-2025.
