The mystical bluestones at Stonehenge have always invited speculation.  The bluestone myth goes something like this: the spotted dolerite bluestones were chosen by the Stonehenge builders for their unique characteristics. They originated from a single source, Carn Meini in Pembrokeshire’s Preseli Hills. There is no natural explanation for their presence on Salisbury Plain, said successive generations of archaeologists. So the 80 bluestones must have been hauled from Preseli to Stonehenge by a tremendous human effort, indicating some special mystical, spiritual or therapeutic significance in the source, the stones, or both. Brian John has some facts, and another theory which is no less magnificent.
