Nicholas Roerich, Henry Wallace and the Chintamani Stone
Russian mystic Nicholas Roerich acted as a spiritual guru to FDR’s Vice President, Henry Wallace, influencing the placement of the Great Seal on the dollar bill in 1935. Roerich claimed to possess a fragment of the Chintamani Stone, a legendary talisman from Shambhala also known as the Stone of Destiny. Wallace’s correspondence with Roerich eventually led to his removal from the 1944 Democratic ticket as his occult interests became a political liability.
