--- Quote from: Herr Eisenheim on April 08, 2012, 12:12:43 AM ---yes this is actually quite common and to be correct your mad stones are actually called phytobezoars - composed chiefly of compacted undigested vegetable fiber.
Wouldn't hold my breath for healing properties though ;)

Phytobezoars - thanks and defiantly not holding my breath. :P
When it said "There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic." This is what I was thinking, kind of petrified, although compacted, compressed seems to be what is indicated. Have a little microscope and will see about breaking it apart and having a look. Also immersing in water to see if it reabsorbs.

If I am not mistaken, these exact same "stones" can be purchased by the bag load here in the states. They sell them to put in the bottom of potted plants for drainage. They look exactly like the photo.

That's a lot of compacted shite to bag. ;D

Do they smell? If not you can paint them, be creative with them and do some collars or bracelets, or rings and sell them specifying that they have properties for anything you can imagine! And then become millionaire. :P

Had heard the term bezoar mentioned in Harry Potter books. Bezoars were believed to act against any poison. As this wikipedia entry on bezoar shows - they apparently do not have such properties.
