I KNOW it has to be hard to carve a stone ball. It must have taken you a long, long time to carve a stone ball.

It started as an ordinary rock. Thousands of thunks later, it takes shape as a glorious globe. One wrong thunk of the stone mason’s hammer and it becomes a dud, broken in half. Inspired by the mysterious stone spheres of Costa Rica, Las Bolas. Energy, exercise, meditation, contemplation, striation appreciation… what will you use your stone ball for?

Thank you for having the looney idea to turn a stone into a sphere and taking the time to do it. I, however, feel no compulsion to spend $425 on it. Thank you, and goodnight.

   You forgot to mention that it looks like a cantaloupe

   Exactly what I first thought, it looks like a cantaloupe.
