Top 10 “Devil Stones” in History — Feared, Forbidden, and Secretly Kept

For centuries, some stones weren’t avoided because they were ugly—or even because they were rare. They were avoided because people believed they represented something that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
In this documentary countdown, we explore 10 stones historically linked to “devil” legends—not as superstition, but as patterns found in records, cultural warnings, church behavior, mining communities, and repeated human reactions across time. Some were kept out of bedrooms. Some were removed from altars. And some were buried—not discarded, but deliberately placed away from everyday life.
This list isn’t about belief. It’s about history, symbolism, and what happens when the same fear repeats across cultures.
✅ Featured stones:
Azurite • Chalcanthite • Pyrite • Magnetite • Bloodstone • Jet • Serpentine • Obsidian • Galena • Tektite
