A stone steeped in history, it was extremely used in Egypt, where it was dedicated to the goddess Hathor. It was also sacred to the Roman goddess Venus and the Norse goddess Freya. During the Middle Ages it was a popular remedy for menstrual problems and labor pain and is therefore sometimes called the "midwife stone."
