That this signifies wisdom and intelligence is evident from the signification of a white stone, when it is from the Lord, as being reception from Him and influx. And because it denotes reception and influx from the Lord, it also denotes wisdom and intelligence from Him; for those who receive from the Lord, and with whom the Lord inflows, are in wisdom and intelligence. The reason why to give a white stone signifies these things is, that, formerly, in judicial proceedings the votes were given by means of stones; affirmative votes were expressed by white stones, and negative by black stones, hence by a white stone is signified the reception of wisdom and intelligence.
