NOVELTY - A solar stepping stone comprises a housing; solar energy collectors; solar power storage photovoltaic battery; and illuminator for illuminating at least a portion of the solar stepping stone, and powered by a solar energy stored by the photovoltaic battery.    USE - As solar stepping stone for use in outdoor environments.    ADVANTAGE - The stepping stone contains a source of light to provide guidance and direction to users at night.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A solar stepping stone comprises a housing having upper surface, side walls (16, 18, 20) and a lower surface, and defining at least one chamber; solar energy collectors (40) associated with the housing for collecting solar energy; solar power storage photovoltaic battery (42) in the chamber for receiving and storing solar energy received from the solar energy collectors; and illuminator (48) for illuminating at least a portion of the solar stepping stone, and powered by a solar energy stored by the photovoltaic battery.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method of illuminating a outdoor pathway comprising arranging solar stepping stones with respect to each other so as to be spaced along a surface of the pathway; forming an illuminator within a chamber contained within at least some of the solar stepping stones; associating a solar energy collector with at least one solar stepping stone to collect solar energy during hours of sunlight; storing the collected solar energy in a solar power storage photovoltaic battery in the chamber of the solar stepping stone; and selectively powering the illuminator to provide illumination through a translucent or transparent lens formed in the upper surface of the solar stepping stone.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is a top view of a stepping stone with the cover partially removed to show the internal components for illumination contained within the stepping stone.
