The Blue Stone

The Blue Stone (Norwegian: Den blå stein) is a monument in the city of Bergen, Norway. The stone is nine meters (30 feet) long, and made of Brazilian sodalite. It is resting on a stone block, which gives it a characteristic inclination towards the northeast. The entire sculpture is placed on a large

r foundation along with a smaller gray square stone sculpture that appears as a cover to an opening at the end of the foundation. The monument was made by Asbjørn Andersen, and presented to the city 27 March 1993 as a gift from the Kavli Trust, who were celebrating their 100th anniversary. The stone is located right next to the main square of Bergen, Torgallmenningen.
