"Loganstone" is the name of the lighter that took Magnesia (Marble) 
to the Whorl.  I got a little bothered about the name yesterday, so I 
did a Google search and came up with

It's an old English name for a rocking stone, with Druidic/magical 
associations.  There's a famous one in Cornwall.

The name fits in with the motions attributed to landers, and also 
fits in with the provenance of the Whorl as an asteriod.
