Probably the first stone used for ornamental purposes was a smooth colored river rock. Or maybe a pretty river
stone was spotted before a hunter successfully got his dinner. The hunter then carried that pretty river stone
with him as his lucky hunting stone. Stones of all kinds have played a very important part of the history of humans.
From little river stones to huge stones, such as at Stonehenge, stones of all sizes and types have been called
“the bones of Mother Earth”. Stones have been used as talismans and amulets since recorded history and
likely before that.
