• The most notable feature of this stone is the deep recessed heart shape in the center. Within this heart is the number 1847 (also seen on the Priest (Witch) Stone) and below it the number 10 in a lighter and thinner font. To the right of the number 10 is a ring O found on most of the other stones. Below these is a triangle.
• Along the left side of the composition is an image of what may be a dagger, the hilt of the dagger appears to have an arrow that points to the recessed heart.
• Below the recessed heart is a curving dotted line, which appears to be a trail marked by evenly spaced trail markers.
• In the center of the left side of the stone is a small (apparently deep) hole, on the right are two holes, and on the bottom (right of center) is a hole that penetrates the stone at an angle.
• Across the top of the stone is a broad undulating line, which may represent a river or trail, and may be labeled with the letter R on the right (río - "river"; see the Horse Stone).
• Surrounding the recessed heart are a series of wavy and undulating lines, which may represent features of the local terrain.
• A large cross is carved into back side of this stone. The Priest (Witch) Stone may have a portrayal of the Heart Stone on it, depicting a rectangular stone with the cross in the center of it.
The Stone Heart
• This small thin stone fits within the heart-shaped recess of the Heart Stone. The back side of the Stone Heart (above right) has a diagonal column of six rectangles. The front side of the Stone Heart (above left) appears to provide the crucial information for finding the treasure - namely, the end of the marked trail. The trail terminates in a ring O element. A Ω-like sign appears to the left of the O; as stated before, this Ω element may mark the location of a distinctive land feature such as a cave or hill.
• When the Stone Heart is placed within the recess of the Heart Stone, the map becomes clear. A long curved arrow points (from the left) to the O at the end of the trail dotted with markers.
