Geologists believe that Fairy Stones may have formed under a glacier, which retreated thousands of years ago. They were then carried by the water and deposited along the shores of certain lakes and rivers. One of the main rivers where Fairy Stones are found is the Harricana River, the second longest river in Canada. It is said that the name "Harricana" came from the Algonquin word Nanikana, which means “the river of biscuits” — biscuits referred to the flat Fairy Stones. A less romanticized version says Nanikana means "the main way".
