    The stone for May was -“The Thinker” this stone was found on a rocky beach on the Southeast Coast of Puerto Rico, near Maunabo, about 10 years ago. The stone could have several interpretations. It strongly evokes an image of Auguste Rodin’s celebrated statue in Paris.

    The stone for April was “Boukido”- this Japanese tunnel stone gives the appearance of a naturally formed opening or tunnel penetrating through a massive rock. In Japan, it is known as a Domon-Ishi, a term that refers to natural rock formations that include arches, tunnels, and gateway stones.
