[quote="StoneGloves"]Think where your clothes come from - it's not too different. Put together they make an 'outfit'. /quote]

Thats another way of looking at it.

So the reasons for linking the stones together and bringing the Stones from Wales to Wessex so far are..

To make an 'outfit'

They are linked by coming from an area We call Wales (It's not yet proven that all the Bluestones come from Wales)

Welsh Tribes brought a Stone (That was of importance or reminded them of home. Possibly?) from their particular part of Wales.

Incidentally..

Not all of the Spotted Dolerite's are the same...

Not only are they not all the same colour. they are also not composed of the same material.. The Spot's are of differant material, size and colour.

I think I have it right in saying the Stone with the smaller spots is hard and durable, while the Stone with larger spots is less durable as it brittle. The spots work as flaws in the Stone. Not so good as a concussion tool
