17th Century

Goa stones come from Bezoar stones, which are natural elements that were first taken intrest on during the 17th century for their "curative properties." The inside of the case holds the actual stone but should not be opened unless in use. This is for preservation purposes. The Bezoar stone comes from "hardened spherical deposit of indigestible material that forms in the gastrointestinal tract of hoofed animals." Goa stones were made artifically with other properties that were not natural ar all. During the 17th century before medicine, Bezoar and Goa stone's were the best way to heal someone that has been poisioned. A piece of the stone could either be ingested directly or dropped into a drink to dissolve.

Since the Renisssance Period, this object has been dispalyed for its "miraculous powers." First seen as a treasury for the Medieval Church and later in cabinets of curiosities. The curosity came from the unknown origin of the coconut and therefore, thought to have some medical effect. In the Renissance period, these objects were mostly used as a way to "cleanse" its containments. This enacted people to pour their drink in it when they think it might have been poisioned or when an object is thought to have a curse on it.
