## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- No one before 1862 mentions it, and later "sightings" are of an unrelated stone.

## What would rule it out

- A pre-1862 letter or diary mentions the stone.
