FAIRY STONES
CONCRETIONS
FROM CANADA
Consisting of fine sand and
silt consolidated by a limestone cement (calcium carbonate), these
stones and their curious forms are phenomena common to certain regions
of northern Quebec, particularly on the bottom of lakes of glacial
origin. The North American native people have called them fairy stones,
and often wore them for good luck on hunting and fishing expeditions.
Lovers also offered the most beautiful ones to their beloved. Larger
specimens often occupied a place of honor in dwelllings, and legend
has it that thses stones protected against eveil spirits and brought
about health and prosperity to the home. Many people today liken their
forms to abstract art. They have a soft feel and are addictive to
hold.
