Holy Stone translated into Latin?

from the relic-ish point of view....

We jokingly can up with Sanctus Petri at Pennsic
but I'm betting that cannot be right....

Thanks in advance!

Before I actually carve it into the mold
can a get a second opinion?

Holy stone, eh? Your deck will be immaculate.

Yours is only wrong in that you're trying to fit petra-am into the wrong declension.

Sancta Petra is fine, but denotes a large stone, especially one that has been, or is suitable for, shaping.

Sanctus Lapillus would imply a pebble or a gem-like stone.

Saxum, as near as I can tell, just means rock -as in damnit I tripped on one.
