Description Blunk Schalenstein (not ! ?)

'The "Blunk cup mark stone" stands in the middle of the village, half a sacrificial stone, crystalline reddish granite inlaid with circular bowls'

That is the information that I found on the internet about a stone in Blunk. (See also german PDF at http://www.bautz.de/holstein/Blunk.pdf)

Blunk is just a small village, so I thought it would be easy to find.
You see a number of big stones when you pass through Blunk, the farmers like to put some in front of their houses. But none looked like the real one..
So I asked a lady, but she had no idea. She told me to ask the mayor of the village,
another lady living just some steps further.
Well, I rang the bell, prepared for some surprised faces (the face you expect
when you ring a bell to ask for a stone).
But she thought for just a second and pointed me to a certain old house,
the 'Schalenstein' should be the one in front...

Now I think she had no idea about that stone.
The stone she thought to be the one wasn't 'reddish granite' and I couldn't find 'circular bowls'....

I had not much time and didn't wanted to go back and complain..
So here are the pictures of a nice stone in Blunk.. go ahead and find the real one..
