Softer stones and minerals such as soapstone, and alabaster and hard stones used in building such as marble or granite are generally excluded.
  • Amulet - Often inscribed with a magic incantation or symbol, an amulet is an object worn as a charm to protect the wearer from an evil, such as disease or witchcraft.
