Bell stone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bellstone is a pillar located in Kauai County, Hawaii 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.
