Fairy Stones
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION::
What are fairy stones?
This seemingly “natural sculpture” Fairy Stone is a calcium carbonate.
It’s made of fine argillaceous sand mixed with limestone cement and created in the permeable layers of a basin.
This basin is formed by diminishing glaciers where water loaded with carbon dioxide flowed through the rocks and broke down the limestone that they contained.
Having undergone a different kind of pressure and exposed to different temperature conditions, the leftover lime deposits in the lakes from the broken-down glaciers are sculpted into rounded stones and beautiful forms of abstract natural art.
They are then deposited in the shores of rivers and lakes.
Fairy Stones can be found in the Harricana River in Canada.
What are they used for?
According to Native American Algonquin legend, Fairy Stones bring health & prosperity, protection against evil spirits and good luck to hunters & fishermen. Lovers would give them to their loved ones & the biggest specimens would often occupy a place of honor in their homes.
Price is for one. Due to this being a natural stone, shape, weight and color can vary.
