EISCO Specimens Editorial Review

This lodestone product has received mixed reviews from customers. Some are disappointed that it doesn't attract iron filings and suggests it's plain old magnetite. Some complain about the size of the coal being too small and not worth their money, while others argue that they have ordered multiple lodestones and confirmed they all work as intended. One customer is disappointed that many of the stones they received were rusty. However, they appreciate the packaging. Despite all the feedback, purchasing it may depend on the price, as claimed by one satisfied customer. In summary:
