burstone

🗣️

DEFINITION

millstone, stone used for grinding grain, hard siliceous stone for millstones

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The old mill used a massive burstone that had been quarried from a nearby hill over a century ago. Burstone was highly valued because its rough surface could grind wheat into fine flour without breaking down quickly. Millers travelled long distances to find burstone of the right quality for their grinding wheels and millstones. The abandoned mill still contained its original burstone, worn smooth after decades of constant use. Geologists studied the local burstone deposits to understand why this particular rock was so well suited for milling grain.
