40. Some of You Know the Story of The Great
Sun Ball Made from Clary Granite
In 1914, it was said to have
been the largest granite
sphere in the world!
From 1914 to 1946, it 1914
stood on the campus of
Columbia University
It was the pointer, or
gnomon, of a sundial.

discovered in the sphere.
The Gnomon was
removed from the Sundial,
December 1946.

was returned to the Clary
