These benefits could be obtained by wearing the stone on a ring, bracelet or pendant; through massage treatments with the stone or by reducing the gem into a powder and drinking it mixed with water or wine. Drawing from a wealth of ancient Arabic, Greek, Jewish and European sources - from the observations of Pliny the Elder to extremely rare texts such as the Picatrix and Damigeron's Virtue of Stones - Claude Lecouteux provides a synthesis of all known lore for more than 1,000 stones. He includes such common examples as the emerald, which ,when engraved with the figure of a harpy holding a lamprey in its claws, will banish panic and nightmares and beryl, which ,when appropriately carved, can summon water spirits or win its owner high renown, as well as more exotic stones such as astrios, a stone celebrated by ancient magicians and whose centre glows like a star. Lecouteux, also, examines bezoars - stones formed in animals' bodies - as well as “magnets” that attract materials other than iron, such as gold, flesh, cotton or scorpions. This comprehensive dictionary of sacred and magical gem lore, drawn from the rarest sources of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, represents a one-of-a-kind resource for gem enthusiasts and magical practitioners alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Claude%2BLecouteux%2BLapidary%2BOf%2BSacred%2BStones'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Claude+Lecouteux\"\u003eClaude Lecouteux\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Lapidary+Of+Sacred+Stones\"\u003eLapidary Of Sacred Stones\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUndertitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Their+Magical+and+Medicinal+Powers+Based+on+the+Earliest+Sources:+Includes+More+Than+800+Gems+and+Stones\"\u003eTheir Magical and Medicinal Powers Based on the Earliest Sources: Includes More Than 800 Gems and Stones\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Inner+Traditions\"\u003eInner Traditions\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 1246642310\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Inner Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok","offer_id":44355580985611,"sku":"1246642310","price":348.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/products\/1246642310_20fa1789-859a-4a5a-9587-aef183a96852.jpg?v=1683535995","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/1246642310","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
