Bell stone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bellstone is a pillar located in Kauai County, Hawaii at near 'Opaeka'a Falls. It is so named because, when struck sharply, a note would resonate over a large area of Wailua Valley, warning of danger.[1] Royal births were announced this way.

Nearby is a spectacular overview of 'Opaeka'a Falls.
