AMPHICOME, in Natural History, a kind of figured stone, of a round shape, but rugged, and beset with eminences, celebrated on account of its use in divination. The word is originally Greek, αμφιπομη, q. d. utrinque comata, or hairy on all sides. This stone is also called Erotulus, Ερωτόλιος, Amatoria, probably on account of its supposed power of creating love. The amphicome is mentioned by Democritus and Pliny.
