Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Cloch Labhrais, also called the Answering Stone and the Speaking Stone, is a large glacial erratic boulder beside a road leading from Waterford to Dungarvan, 2 miles (3 km) from Stradbally, County Waterford in Ireland. The stone is the subject of a legend, much like the Blarney Stone. The most prominent and unique feature of the stone is a large, 5-foot-wide split (1.5 m) almost completely cleaving the stone in two. The large glacial boulder likely obtained the split when the glacial ice melted due to a rapid temperature change between the ice and the water of the stream.
