1 A stony expression or way of behaving is one that shows no sympathy or kindness:
2 containing a lot of stones:
Thus, rodents eat bruchid larvae, and even prefer the larvae to seeds if not enclosed in a stony endocarp.
When ripe, the exocarp often forms a hollow sphere in which the single, stony endocarp moves relatively freely.
If one looks at the original black-andwhite pictures that show what appears to be a complex stony landscape, one may understand the doubts at the time.
The soil in the north is richer and more fertile with more "galestro", with the soil gradually becoming harder and stonier with more "albarese" in the south.
Overall, it appears that the stony meteorites fragment before substantial melting and vaporizing occur, with a significant amount of energy deposited into mechanical fracture and velocity dispersion.
Nevertheless, as my right honourable friend has emphasised, we should be aware that the road ahead will be difficult and stony.
I am glad that this may have borne some fruit and not fallen on stony ground.
In that case there was not just consultation but, although it was a stony road, eventual agreement.
