Fairy Stones (sometimes called “Loess Children”) carry nature spirit energy and are excellent for grounding. The name was given to them by the Algonquin, who carried or placed them in the home for good luck and success in hunting for food.
Historical Folklore
According to legend, these special stones provided protection against evil spirits. They also brought good health and prosperity to those in the home.
Geology
Fairy Stones are a type of Loess, a type of rock finely ground by glaciers and blown away by winds to form soil-like deposits. Groundwater moving through the soils dissolves calcium and other minerals, and the grounds are redeposited to form unique concretion formations. This stone can be found in Canada.
Chakra Association
This stone is associated with the root chakra.
Care
You can place this stone in full moon moonlight to energize. It can also be moved through sage smoke or incense, placed in rice, or buried in the earth overnight.
Astrological Association
This stone is associated with Taurus.
Health Folklore
Fairy Stone is thought to be beneficial for the nervous system. It can also help soothe stress and nerves.

I have what I believe to be a Fairy Stone that I found as a child. But due to it’s shape and size I’m not sure if that’s what I have. Would you be willing to look at a picture of it if I sent one and give me your opinion? I’ve been trying to figure this rock out for 2 decades! Thanks for your time.
Hi John, That is so interesting! We’d be happy to take a look. Send several photos to us at crystallifecustomers@gmail.com. Thanks! ~ Laura
