Mysterious White Stone of Pontyberem
Deep in the Welsh countryside, at Disgwylfa farm in Pontyberem, lies a tale of a most unusual and intriguing relic.

While the stone's origins are shrouded in mystery, its purported abilities have been documented. Unfortunately, the stone's current whereabouts are unknown, leaving behind only whispers of its remarkable past. The fact that it was said to have fallen from the sky only adds to the enigma, sparking the imagination and fuelling speculation about its true nature and origins.
The stone dates back to the pre-nineteenth century.
