Toadstone

A toadstone is a mythical gemstone believed to be found in the head of a toad. It was thought to have magical properties and was often used in medieval jewelry and amulets for protection against poison and evil spirits. The toadstone was typically a greenish or brownish stone with a pitted surface, resembling the skin of a toad. Legends surrounding the toadstone vary, but many cultures believed it had the power to detect poison when placed in a cup of liquid. Despite its folklore origins, toadstones have become prized collectibles for gemstone enthusiasts.
