Description
The Blarney Stone (Irish: Cloch na Blarnan) is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the stone and tour the castle and its gardens.

I laughed out loud when I saw that you had posted this stone to the ROCKS Group for St. Pat's Day! Great fun, Michelle. I have a friend who went to Blarney Castle to do just that, kiss it, and declined when he saw that it was suspended way out over the edge and you're supposed to lay on your stomach with someone hanging onto your legs so you won't fall.
