Velednikovsky stone ( Blue stone ) - megalith , calyx and / or investigator , having recesses-bowls, shaped like an eye with a pupil. The size of the aerial part is approximately 3 × 1.5 meters, the underground part is three times larger. With its wide side, the stone is oriented practically along the east-west line.
The origin of the stone is most likely glacial. It is formed by sedimentary rocks with a high content of quartz [1] .
The stone is located in a pine forest between the villages of Velednikovo and Novinki, next to an abandoned and firebox forest road, in the Krasnogorsk district on the border with the Istra district of the Moscow region . 2.5 km to the south-west is the settlement of Dyatlova Polyana.
In 2013, the forest in which the Velednikovsky stone is located was fenced, the “Private Territory” signs and a video surveillance system were installed. Information about the owner and developer is missing.

Historical background
On the lands of Finno-Ugric tribes, “cups” or “footprints” are often found on sacred stones - depressions in which water collects after rain or snow melt, which is considered healing in the folk tradition. Blue stones are considered a toponymic marker of the former presence of the Meri tribe.
