Q always has me thinking of Snow White or Sneewitchen.

So in the Snow White fairytale each of the seven dwarves has a job in a Diamond mine.

When the dwarves came home from work and found Snow White they promised her if she would cook, clean, sew (slave labor) for them they would protect her from the evil witch.

I read on someone’s twitter that in ancient times diamond was confused and called “lodestone”

"Someone's twitter"? -- lousy "sauce"...

NO. "Lodestone" has always been the magnetic ore (magnetite) that could be used to make navigational compasses.
