Reminiscent of primitive vessels that existed in the Stone Age, this particular stone found in Cagayan, Northern Luzon, certainly has all the characteristics of a utilitarian container, standing upright and in a this instance, spouting and spout.

It is an amazing addition to my collection and allows me to imagine that I have a bit of Natural History in my world of natural stone appreciation.
