Lodestone or Magnetite is a naturally-occurring mineral form of iron oxide. Cobalt & Nickel are also naturally magnetic. Dysprosium & Gadolinium exhibit magnetic properties at very low temperatures though these metals are very rare in the wild.

Everything in this universe is Natural or Man made. Magnetism is one among them

Magnets are natural. Man made magnets are magnetized by natural magnets sometimes.

The ordinary magnets in the lab or used in industry are all man-made. Only some natural ferromagnetic stones or ores are natural magnets.

the very first magnets that were used was natural,it wasmade from magnetite or lodestone which are ore of iron the people using them called them leading stone because they used them in navigation.now a days anext generation of manets are commonlyused called electromagnets.these work on a diffrent concept in which electric current plays an important role.therefore roughly speeking magnets are bothnatural and man made

They are only man-made. I know because I was the one who spend all those months millions of years ago making the gigantic magnetic north and south poles on the planet that all compasses point to. So if anyone tried to tell you they are natural, don't believe them.

earth behaves like bar magnet. that is why a compass points towards the geographic north. get a tenth class book and study hard

The first natural magnets, lodestones, came from Magnesia, and were considered rare and exotic.
