The 28 inch diameter, 2000 pound granite sphere floats on a cushion of water pumped up from a fountain below. The socket of the granite base is precision carved to allow an 8/1000th inch thick layer of water that the ball rests on. Even a child can rotate the ball!
This marvelous floating granite ball fountain is in front of the Nature Center at Holliday Park in Indianapolis.Β
“To everything, Turn Turn Turn. There is a season, Turn Turn Turn.” Including one ton granite balls. Very cool exhibit.

I’ve seen one like this somewhere else, but I can’t remember where. Somewhere in Europe, I believe.
