Speed describes this monument in the following manner: "But neere Pensans and unto Mounts Bay, a farre more strange Rocke standeth, namely, Main-Amber, which lieth mounted upon others of a meaner size, with so equal a counterpoise, that a man may move it with the point of his finger, but no strength remove it out of his place."
(I assume 'Speed' is John Speed, the cartographer ((1552-1629) but I could be completely wrong). This from 'An Historical Survey of the County of Cornwall'
