"Not only is kissing the Stone good luck, but apparently those who kiss it are gifted with eloquence, or the “gift of the gab”. I can’t help but wonder if this is true. I’ve been told that I didn’t speak two words in all of first grade, but now I teach classes to over a hundred students, write blogs posts, short stories, and I’ve even, once or twice, been accused of being an extrovert (gasp!). I wish I had known about this happy side effect of kissing the Blarney Stone sooner, because I would have taken note of exactly when I managed to come out of my shell. I apologize for not having any childhood diary entries or teachers’ report card comments to share as evidence of this good luck legend coming to life.
However, a more detailed account from a South Carolinian estate sales agent, was provided to the Irish Times in 2011 (Roseingrave, 2011; Kelly, 2011). They purchased a piece of the Blarney Stone (or what was considered to be a piece of the Blarney Stone) from an estate sale for $1.
Soon afterwards, her work began to “slow down”, and she started to suffer from depression. She attributed this “bad luck” to the rock and mailed it back to Blarney Castle. After it was no longer in her possession, she reported to immediately feel better."
