But, as I mentioned, there have in the past been idiots who chipped bits off the stone. In fact, one of the localities used to SELL HAMMERS AND CHISELS to tourists to enable them in this idiocy. That, thankfully, has stopped. <br/><br/><a></a><a></a>Posted by<a><b> </b></a><a HREF="http://rhinocrisy.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="rednblack at alum dot mit dot edu">saurabh</a> Matthias: hard to say since you can’t actually go within any reasonable distance of the stones.
