Barokní hranicní kámen ve tvaru komolého jehlanu, vytesaný z hrubozrnné žuly, o výšce 4,88 m, oznacuje hranici mezi Cechami a Moravou, jak byla stanovena Marií Terezií roku 1750. Na území Jihlavy jsou celkove ctyri. Vytvoril je známý sochar Viktor Václav Morávek z Polné (1715 až 1779). Motivem jejich vztycení byla snaha po rešení vleklého sporu o prubehu cesko-moravské zemské hranice v oblasti Jihlavy. Na príslušné strane jej zdobí znaky obou zemí (lev a orlice), na jednotlivých stranách podstavce lze najít latinské nápisy: „Hranice mezi Cechami a Moravou“, „Postaveno roku 1750“, „Tímto rozhodnutím urcili v r. 1750 hranici mezi Cechami a Moravou“, „Za Marie Terezie mající vládu v království Ceském“. Na vrcholu jehlanu bývala ješte kamenná koule, ta se však na žádném z hranicníku nedochovala.
