Stones of Passion: Stones in the Internal Organs as Liminal Phenomena between Medical and Religious Knowledge in Renaissance Italy

In Renaissance Italy, stones growing inside the kidneys, bladders and gallbladders of people with a reputation of holiness could evoke veneration.

For natural philosophers internal stones were enigmatic in themselves, eliciting awe, but precluding a definitive decision as to whether God intervened directly into the order of nature.
