Thank you for your question. Snake stones have been advertised as cures for everything from snake bite to bites from rabid animals to scorpion stings. They have turned up in just about every country where venomous snakes are found. The bite victim applies the stone to the bite wound and it is supposed to absorb the venom from the wound. In reality, they DO NOT provide any treatment of venomous snake bite.
Snake stones were described by Pliny the Elder of Rome in the first century AD. They were also used in France in the 1600's, and they are still sold today in India and Pakistan. In the past, some sellers demanded such a high price for a stone that communities would combine their resources to purchase the stone and share it among community members.
Snakes do not carry these stones inside their heads or bodies. Stones that are reported to come from snakes are often bezoars, a stony concretion found in the stomachs of goats and other ruminants. Other stones have been found to be calcified deer horn or bone, kidney or bladder stones, other porous types of stone and even semiprecious stones.
The Jogis tribesmen of India and Pakistan, who are famous for snake handling and snake charming demonstrations offer the stones for sale, but don't claim they absorb venom, rather they believe the stones possess a magic power that protects the bite victim.
Venomous snakes control the amount of venom they inject when they bite. Sometimes they do not inject any venom at all. These stones, like other remedies recommended in different cultures, probably gained credibility in cases where the victim received a non-lethal quantity of venom or no venom at all. The victim applied the stone, and they recovered from their bite. However, if they had done nothing to treat the bite, they would have recovered due to the lack of or small amount of venom they received.
The best treatment for a venomous snake bite continues to be getting the victim to a hospital where medical personnel can evaluate the bite and symptoms, and determine a treatment strategy.
I hope this information helps.
