Alectorius (or Alectoria)
Alectorius (or Alectoria)
This stone is about the size of a bean, clear as crystal, sometimes with veins the color of flesh. It is said to be taken from the cock's stomach. According to ancient belief, it renders its owner courageous and invincible, brings him wealth, assuages thirst, and makes the husband love his wife, or, as another author has it, "makes the woman agreeable to her husband." Its most wonderful property is that it helps to regain a lost kingdom and acquire a foreign one.
