FAIRY STONE - CONCRETION

QUEBEC CANADA

AMAZING NATURAL FORMATION CONSISTING OF SAND AND SILT CONSOLIDATED BY  LIME STONE

THESE STONES, COMMONLY KNOWN AS “CONCRETIONS” USUALLY OCCUR AS SMALL ROUND MASSES OR FLAT CONCENTRIC DISCS OF VARYING DIAMETERS WHICH, WHEN JUXTAPOSED FORM MOSAICS. SOME ARE REMINISCENT OF WORKS BY CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS.

THE IRREGULAR LINES ON SOME SPECIMENS WERE LEFT BY TINE WORMS OR ORGANIC DEPRIS THAT HAVE BEEN FOSSILIZED DURING THOUSANDS OF YEARS. THESE CONCRETIONS ARE FOUND IN LOOSE QUATERNARY DEPOSITS, HAVING SETTLED IN BODIES OF WATER FILLING DEPRESSIONS LEFT BY RECEDING GLACIERS, THEN HAVING BEEN FLUSHED BY THE CURRENTS AND DEPOSITED ON THE LAKE SHORES AND RIVER BANKS.

THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS CALLED THEM “FAIRY STONES” AND OFTEN WORE THEM FOR GOOD LUCK ON HUNTING AND FISHING EXPIDITIONS. LOVERS OFFERED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONES TO THEIR BELOVED. LARGER SPECIMENS OFTEN OCCUPIED A PLACE OF HONOUR IN DWELLINGS; LEGENDS HAD IT THAT THESE STONES PROTECTED AGAINST EVIL SPIRITS AND BROUGHT HEALTH AND PROSPERITY TO THE OCCUPANTS.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
