Green Lodestones, 1 lb, Money-Drawing Magnetite

Colored for money work. The green coat is a visual cue that keeps the stone's job clear on a crowded altar: this one draws cash, customers, and steady income. Underneath, it is the same magnetite as a natural lodestone.

Naturally magnetic and unpolished. These are unpolished lodestones that hold a real charge, so a pinch of magnetic sand clings the moment you feed them.

A wholesale-scale supply. One pound is sold by weight, enough to build mojo bags for a whole circle, stock a shop counter, or keep a stone working in every room of a business. Working practitioners and group leaders get through it faster than you would think.

Green lodestones are used for money drawing in Hoodoo and rootwork. Lodestone is the tradition's great attraction curio, and color is the tradition's shorthand for intention: green for money and prosperity, red for love, natural black for general drawing. A green lodestone kept with a petition, fed weekly, and dressed with a money oil is a classic prosperity working that needs no candle to function.

The practice is old and well documented. Folklorist Harry M. Hyatt recorded lodestone workings from rootworkers across the American South in the 1930s, and lodestones were staples of the mail-order curio catalogs that supplied Black communities through the 20th century. Feeding the stone with magnetic sand, on a set day, with the words said out loud, is what keeps the work alive.

By the pound, the stone becomes working stock rather than a single charm: one for the cash box, one for the mojo, one for each door a client's business opens through.

1. Sort a working set. Pull out the stones you need for the job and leave the rest in a dry, sealed container; lodestone rusts if it sits damp.
2. Name the work. Hold each stone and say the words plainly: "You draw money to this house," or "You bring paying customers through that door."
3. Dress it. Rub a few drops of Money Drawing, Magnet, or Fast Luck oil into the stone.
4. Feed it. Sprinkle a pinch of gold or silver magnetic sand over the stone and let it cling. Repeat on the same day each week while the work is active.
5. Place it. Tuck the stone into a green mojo bag, set it under a petition on the altar, or keep it beside the register. Your own sense of where the money needs to move is the best guide to placement.

What is the difference between green lodestones and natural lodestones?

Green lodestones are natural magnetite lodestones colored green so the stone reads as a money stone at a glance. Natural lodestones are left their original dark gray to black. The magnetism, the feeding with magnetic sand, and the dressing with oil are identical; the color simply matches the working to Hoodoo's money color.

How many green lodestones are in a pound?

A pound of green lodestones is sold by weight, so the count depends on the size of the individual stones and varies from bag to bag. Expect a generous handful of working-sized pieces rather than a fixed number. If you need a specific count for a group working, reach out to Plentiful Earth before ordering.

How do I feed a lodestone with magnetic sand?

Feed a lodestone by sprinkling a pinch of magnetic sand over the stone so the grains cling to it, ideally after dressing it with oil. Most rootworkers feed on the same day each week, saying the intention aloud as they do. For green lodestones, gold or silver sand both work; gold is the money-drawing choice.

Can I use green lodestones for love or protection work instead of money?

You can, though the tradition matches color to intention: green for money, red for love, natural for general attraction and protection. If green stones are what you have, name the work clearly when you wake the stone and dress it with the matching oil. The stone follows the words more than the paint.

Is buying lodestones by the pound right for a beginner?

A pound of green lodestones is meant for working practitioners, group leaders, and shop owners who go through stones regularly. A beginner setting up a first mojo bag will be well served by a 1 oz bag of natural lodestone instead. Buy the pound once you know the stone will keep working for you.

How should I store bulk lodestones?

Store green lodestones dry, in a sealed pouch or jar away from moisture, because lodestone is iron ore and will rust if it sits damp. Keep them apart from magnetic media and electronics. Between workings, many practitioners keep the whole stock near a small dish of magnetic sand so the stones stay fed.
