Cup Marked Stone

This image clearly shows the split down the middle of the slab and a nice collection of 4 cups on the left corner of the stone. The holes seem to only be found in the softer beds of the rock. The foliation of the rock can clearly be seen giving the slab magnificent natural waves. Nice big, bright purple garnet crystals can also be found in the rock.

Cup Marked Stone

15-20 cup markings on large, highly weathered, shist, stone slab. The extensive weathering of the stone makes it hard to distinguish man-made and natural holes in the rock.
