SANGE-MARYAM HOLY STONE 8cts (Fossil)
Close-up views

Apparently "SANGE-MARYAM" is Farsi for "stone of Mary", and I admittedly don't know much at all about the stone other than that it's a fossil.While its origin states Afghanistan, it's presumably originally from the Jerusalem area as indicated in the following:

"THIS STONE IS FOUND IN THE VICINITY OF JERUSALEM. THROUGH THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN INDIA, PERSIA AND ARABIC IT IS CALLED SANG-E-MARYAM. SANG-E-MARYAM MEANS STONE OF THE HOLY MARY, BUT ITS STRANGE HOW THERE IS NO ENGLISH NAME IS FOR THIS STONE. IT IS SAID THAT MARY GAVE BIRTH TO JESUS ON THIS STONE. THE MYTH PREVAILS THAT IF KEPT IN THE HOUSE, THE PEACE PREVAILS. IF WORN BY A PREGNANT WOMAN THE BIRTH PAIN WOULD EASE AND IF WORN BY A MAN HIS WIFE WILL CONCEIVE A MALE CHILD AND A CHILDLESS WOMAN WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE."

If whoever buys this stone happens to know more about it and would care to share information, it'd be much appreciated! Good luck bidding!
