Near Berryville, Virginia, a*beautiful tablet-like*stone has been*found by the Shenandoah River. Under*its brown-orange patina, peck-marked shapes*reveal a crystalline heartstone*and*intriguing designs. While a*variety of opinions have been offered by experts on the origin of the designs, the author takes you on a tour*so you can make your own judgement. Findings*reveal*aesthetic proportions and intriguing gestalts which resonate with Eastern Woodland cosmology of early America. These include archetypes of the avian-man, skeletal and twinned shaman, earth mother,*and a cosmology which shows a*three-layered and four-cornered world.**With an abundance of imagery*supported by commentary, this "mystery stone" illustrates*the Indigenous way of viewing the universe, and one that can enrich our lives.
