Lapis Judaicus

A fabulous precious stone also identified with the Holy Grail and the talismanic stone of inexhaustible feeding power. It was sometimes called "Theolithos" and may have been another name for the Lapis Exilis. It has also been known as the Phoenix stone. Another legend claimed that it fell from the crown of Lucifer as he was banished from heaven and remained in the keeping of the angels of the air.
