The stones (at left) allegedly produced by Siti's toe.

The toe belongs to a 23-year-old girl, Siti Suhana Saadon, from Taman Cempaka in Durian Tunggal, near Alor Gajah who had become an overnight sensation when TV3 aired the bizarre story of crystal-like stones popping out from beneath her toe nail.
Her rubber-tapper mother Kamariah Komeng, 52, said Siti Suhana's left toenail has been discharging crystal-like beads over the past three months.
A medical specialist has expressed interest in checking Siti Suhana's condition, describing that it was unusual. "The stones looked like gems," said the doctor who is attached to the UKM Faculty of Medicine.
The Star, however, got the last word when it exposed this elaborate hoax. After Siti Suhana Saadon was admitted to the Putra Specialist Centre in Malacca on Thursday afternoon, doctors bandaged her left toe with gauze and sealed it with adhesive plaster.
Nothing here: No crystal-like beads or other out-of-the-ordinary objects
can be seen after Dr Senasi unwrapped Siti Suhana's left big toe on Saturday.
There was none.
"As we can see, there is neither any crystal nor any other foreign object here," he said and proceeded to dress the toes with a new set of gauze.
Gem stones, my foot.
