Pudding stone, also known as conglomerate or "puddingstone," is a distinctive and peculiar type of sedimentary rock found notably in Ontario.

Its most striking feature is its composition: a mixture of rounded pebbles and cobbles embedded within a finer-grained matrix of sandstone or shale. These embedded stones often vary in color, size, and type, giving the rock a mottled, "pudding-like" appearance—hence the name.

Formed through the process of sedimentation in ancient riverbeds or glacial environments, pudding stones originate when sediments, including larger stones, settle and lithify over millions of years. The rounded nature of the pebbles suggests they were transported by water, smoothing their edges before incorporation into the matrix.

Culturally, pudding stones have become iconic symbols of Ontario’s geological heritage.

They are often used in local art, architecture, and jewelry, embodying the natural history of the region. Spiritually, some Indigenous communities and metaphysical practitioners attribute grounding and stabilizing energies to pudding stones, believing they connect individuals to the Earth’s ancient energies.

Overall, pudding stones are valued both for their unique beauty and their deep cultural and metaphysical significance as remnants of the Earth's dynamic past.
