Charm stones were used by Native Americans for spiritual ceremonies, healing rituals, and to secure a productive harvest. And many a famous person has possessed one (and put their faith in it). In a letter to her brother-in-law, Henry III of France, Mary Queen of Scots wrote, "I send you two stones valuable for your health which I hope will be good, with a happy and long life. I ask you to receive them as a gift from your very affectionate sister-in law in a token of my true love towards you." These days, we see US President, Barack Obama carrying good luck charms, along with many thousands of other well-known people. Napoleon carried one as did Franklin D. Roosevelt. They are also seen in many of the world's major religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and with some of the Australian Aborigines.
