[ Return to Mythical Dragon Biology ] The dragon stone is also know as draconite. In Western culture this is a precious stone, said to be found in the head of a dragon. The Chinese also had references to precious stones from dragons. Dragon were said to have a pearl under their chin. In the Sun Kwang-hien a blue object with lines was found in front of the dragon's horns. Perhaps another form of dragon stone. The dragon pearl was said to aid a dragon in flying. The western dragon stone was also said to have magical properties. The stone found near Mount Pilatus (Switzerland) was claimed to have healing properties. For those that believe in magic, this is the most likely contender for the source of a dragon's magical powers. For those that do not believe in magic, possible the stone had something to do with the dragon's breath. In flame breathers, it may have acted to ignite the vapour, or be part of the venom releasing mechanism. |
