A narrow plinth of just a few inches wide is all that holds this 200 ton boulder upright. Eventually weathering at the base will cause it to become unstable and it will turn into a rocking stone. It will sway back and forth on it's plinth but remain upright. In time however as the base becomes thinner the rock will eventually topple, but that might not be for thousands of years yet.
