At the southern end of Ireland you can find Blarney Castle. High up
in the parapet of the castle is the world famous Blarney Stone.
Visitors come from far and wide for a chance to see this stone. The
Blarney Stone is believed to possess special powers and conveys the
eternal gift of eloquence of speech to those who kiss the stone.
Scattered around the world in big cities and little towns are
numerous local “Blarney Stones.” The object of this locationless
cache is to find these stones. To log this cache you must find a
stone that has been officially named a “Blarney Stone.” These will
normally be a tribute to the Irish heritage of an area. There must
be a plaque or other similar marker declaring the stone a “Blarney
Stone.” Places of business named “Blarney” do not qualify unless
they have a specific stone on public display labeled as a “Blarney
Stone.”
To log a find you will need to provide a photograph that
includes three elements. It must show the stone, your GPS receiver,
and the plaque (readable) proclaiming the stone a “Blarney Stone.”
Examples are provided below. You must also include the coordinates
for the stone you find in your log. Any logs that don’t meet this
requirement will be deleted.
Each stone can be found multiple times, and I encourage you to use
this cache page to locate a stone near you. However, each user can
only log this cache once.

Thanks!
The Old Sacramento stone does not technically qualify because it
doesn't say "Blarney stone" but old posts will be grandfathered
in.
