St. Petra’s, Home for Unclaimed Stones

Field notes

St. Petra’s frames stone adoption as a formal placement process rather than a novelty shop. Applicants apparently receive an unidentified resident in a ventilated nest-box, along with an embossed certificate, intake report, geological record, care manual, and rehoming paperwork. The resident register supplies unusually specific institutional details: Gerald has been passed over forty-six times, Constance has been returned three times, and Alfred is represented by counsel. The page announces an autumn intake but does not show an open application process.
