Well, there is one, this rock. Two sides
were found face-down sandwiched
between other rocks, these two protected
sides and edges have managed to avoid
most of the elements and remain close to
their pristine state. The rock is igneous and
very hard, dark brown in colour and the
two sides that are still in near ‘mint
condition’ have been at the very least
sanded and possibly even polished. The
faces on these sides are flat, smooth and
without depression or kink. The edges are
sharp, so much so if running paper along
the edge it will cut. I have cut myself and
bled when accidentally dropping the rock
on my arm. If I sat down for tea tonight
and had no cutlery, this rock would be a
better substitute as it has a sharper edge
than any blade used on the table to assist in
cutting and slicing the food on the plate.

It seems logical to assume that these two
sheltered sides and edges were the norm,
and when first shaped and cut every edge
and face was equally sharp and level.
Consisting of seven sides it is a rather
complex geometric shape of which we
have seen nothing anywhere That comes
close to this shape or pattern, be it in
Australia or any other continent. Nor have
we seen or heard of ancient edges so sharp,
but the legacy of this rock extends well
past the technological gadgetry applied.
What takes this seven-sided rock up
another level is the lines of convergence.
When placed with the flat smooth surface
on the bottom, if the lines of the two edges
were extended to the point where they
would eventually meet, this would be the
exact same position the line of the top
edge, if it is also continued forward, would
also converge. What was deliberately
created is an object that is so precise the
three most prominent edges narrow to the
same point. As intentional and clever as
the meeting of three angles is, the reasons
that inspired such geometry and precision,
complemented by some amazing
technology and stunning masonry, ask
many an inconvenient question that can
only have an Original answer.
Found extremely close to the Standing
Stones site, there is a message of
significance engraved and encrypted, and
we strongly suspect that this rock was
either bound for or taken from that site. Of
course, there are easily a hundred shaped
rocks laying near the two mounds and
some are quite simple, others more
complex like this one, but until
photographed with this equipment and
expertise we were unable to visually
present the finesse of cut, alignment of
shapes and level of skill required. Those
two sides are standard bearers against
which every other rock must be compared
and reconstructed. It is quite possible
many of the rocks were cut and shaped to
