Afternoon stoning for IOMNHA

Neolithic street lighting, christian symbol, or sexual metaphor?

"Neolithic street lighting, christian symbol, or sexual metaphor?"

The Isle of Man Natural History and Antiquarian Society is hosting a public lecture about... quartz.

The stone is described as "white, reflective and luminous in moonlight, [but] also decorative, mutable, and electrically-charged."

Taking place at 2:30pm on Saturday in the iMuseum, the talk will discuss the wide variety of uses of quartz throughout the Isle of Man's history, from Neolithic times to the modern day - from walls and gateposts, to charms and talismans.
