The stone which has been described as a miracle stone could become a pilgrimage site for Ghanaians and foreigners according to the minister.
Mr. El Aridi Choaki Youssefthe Quarry Operations Manager of Sarcon Quarry Ltd, discovered what he described as a miracle in November 2017 during a process of breaking the rock with machines.
Explaining how he discovered the miracle stone, he narrated that in the process of breaking the stone, a greater force pushed him.
Although the machine was used for the cutting of the rock, he said the particular stone would not break and, therefore, he had to use his manpower to remove the stones from the area.
Choaki who says he knows little about the Christian religion believed the stone was truly a miracle of God. He also stated that the discovery of the granite stone is a good sign for Ghana.
