Loot needs shifting: all eyes are on it (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lodestone

'all eyes are on it' is the definition.
(can mean something that's the centre of attention)

'loot needs shifting' is the wordplay.
'shifting' is an anagram indicator.
'loot'+'needs'='lootneeds'
'lootneeds' anagrammed gives 'LODESTONE'.

(Other definitions for lodestone that I've seen before include "Magnetite" , "Magnet" , "Natural magnetic ore" , "naturally attractive?" , "attractive person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
