The Black Stone Of Kaaba

According to Grant Pearson (Australia), meteoritic materials have been of interest since antiquity for ornamentation or amulets, or as objects of fear, curiosity, worship or veneration. For example, the black stone of Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia to which pilgrims have long paid homage is thought to be meteoritic with its ancient mystical allusions probably arising from its having fallen from the heavens.
