Museum officers have left no stone unturned to get a prehistoric rock back to its moorland home.
The Heygate stone with its intricate carved cup and rings returns to Baildon Moor this weekend after a five-year absence to go on permanent public view at Brackenhall Countryside Centre.
The stone, which dates back around 5,000 years, was discovered by chance in 2001 by a local landowner out walking in his field.
Two years later the man - who was legally entitled to keep the find - donated it to Bradford Council's Museums, Galleries and Heritage Service for safe-keeping.

And tomorrow people will get a chance to get up close to the stone which measures around 60cms high and 45cms wide.
