Quirim is described as a remarkable stone, termed the pierre merveilleuse in older demonographic works. When placed on the head of a sleeping person, it reportedly compels the individual to utter all thoughts concealed in the mind. It is also referred to as the stone of traitors in certain texts. Some medieval sources mention its possible use in interrogations conducted under clandestine conditions. It was occasionally cited in esoteric circles seeking methods of extracting confessions. Its precise origin remains uncertain.
