The '''Bezoar Stone''' is a reference to the film '''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone''' (or "philosopher's stone" depending on region). The stone, within the film, was said to come from the stomach of a goat and was able to cure any poison. A Bezoar stone in real life gathers in the stomach of certain animals, and in the fourteenth century, they were touted as having healing properties.

Bezoar Stone.

Bezoar Stone is a legendary spirit stone that can be found in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. This item can only be equipped by the Monk, and will only very rarely drop for any class other than the Monk.

The Smart Drop system ensures that spirit stones will usually roll with Dexterity, or at least never roll with Strength or Intelligence. Any bonus skill damage will be tuned to Monk skills as well.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

In history, a Bezoar Stone was an object thought to have magical powers to cure or neutralize any poison. The root word comes from Arabic for "antidote." The term was popularized in recent years when one was featured as a poison cure in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

It's thus fairly odd that this item in Diablo 3 has nothing to do with poison resistance. Presumably the item was named early in development and planned as an anti-poison piece of armor, but that effect got lost in development and only the now irrelevant name remains.
