Blarney Stone

The Blarney Stone is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the "gift of the gab" (great eloquence or skill at flattery).

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, the Blarney Stone has the power to cure whatever problems whoever kissed it had. In Reporter Smurf's interview with Tapper, his parents Seamus and Molly took their young infant Smurf to the Emerald Isle to have him kiss the Blarney Stone in order to cure his condition of being born mute.
