Toadstones

By Crusader1307

Discussed in various Documents of the 14th Century in Europe, Toadstones were smooth, pebble-like stones (resembling Agates), thought to be able to cure various illness and diseases. They could be ingested and passed through normal bodily functions. Thought to come from the secretions of Toads, in reality Toadstones were the fossilized remains of a Prehistoric Fish-like creature called The Lepidote. They lived some 80 Million years prior. These creatures produced the ball-like protrusions via secretions (as it was thought Toads did). Some Cultures considered Toadstones magical, with their use seen among The Druid Culture. They are often seen as a primitive form of the Human Gall Stone.
