Blue Stone (Russia)
Sin-Kamen (Синь-Камень, in Russian literally – Blue Stone, or Blue Rock) is a type of pagan sacred stones, widespread in Russia, in areas historically inhabited by both Eastern Slavic (Russian), and Uralic tribes (Merya, Muroma〔(И.Д. Маланин. Материалы разведки Синих камней Подмосковья в 2003 году // Краеведение и регионоведение. Межвузовский сборник научных трудов. ч.1. Владимир, 2004. ) (Russian)〕). Unlike Sledovik (both ''Sledovik'' proper and ''Cup-stones''), ''Blue Stones'' did not have major hallows on them, and were venerated in a simpler way: by pouring water on them, or leaving food offerings. Some of the Blue Stones are still known, and to some extent venerated by local population.
If used as a personal name, ''Sin-Kamen'' (Blue Rock) usually refers to the most famous sacred stone of this kind, located on a shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo near Pereslavl-Zalesskiy. While in the majority of cases, the stones belonging to the ''Blue Stones'' type, have a black, or dark gray color, this particular stone does indeed look dark blue, when wet.〔(Бердников, В. Синий камень Плещеева озера ) // Наука и жизнь. – 1985. – № 1. – С. 134–139. (Russian)〕 The stone surface is covered with small knobs;〔 its weight is estimated to be about 12 tons〔(Комаров К. И. Древние боги Ярославской земли ) (Russian)〕
