Robert Phillips decided the stone should be returned on the eve of his 90th birthday.
A man in Florida who stole a piece of the iconic 5,000-year-old Stonehenge monument in Great Britain has given back the rock, prompting messages of thanks from the nation’s conservation body.
The company was contracted to repair and reinforce cracks discovered in one stone by archaeologists. Three cores were removed using an annular drilling machine and steel rods were put in their place. While the historic piece of stone became a cherished souvenir, Phillips decided to return the artefact to its home on the eve of his 90th birthday. His sons Robin and Lewis Phillips traveled to the United Kingdom to return the stone.
