Answers:
A shepherd found one in a field in magnesia, in greece. The iron base of his bachall-- or whatever you call the stick a shepherd uses-- stuck to it. He sent the stone to Thales of Miletus, a scientist of those days, who named it "ho lithos magnetes" or "the stone of magnesia". That's where we get the name magnet from.

That was the kind that is called lodestone in English, or magnetite in geologist jargon. they're naturally occuring, but AlNiCo or ceramic or vinyl type magnets are man-made, and soft iron can be made magnetic.Health Question & Answer
