Kriaučiaus akmuo, Geological formation in Pakražantis Eldership, Lithuania.

The boulder measures 7.84 meters in length, 7.65 meters in width, and extends over 4 meters in height with a horizontal circumference of 23.2 meters.

In 1989, workers used industrial pulleys and steel cables from the Mažeikiai oil factory to extract the boulder and move it to a nearby hill.

The boulder consists of biotite-granite gneiss with blue-gray coloring and brown-pink spots, representing typical Lithuanian glacial formations.

The boulder stands near the Kražiai-Jauniškė road at an elevation of 157 meters, making it easily accessible for geological study and observation.

This natural monument ranks as the third largest boulder in Lithuania, featuring a triangular shape when viewed from above with smooth surface characteristics.
