We consider a nonholonomic model of movement of celtic stone on the plane. We show that, for certain values of parameters characterizing geometrical and physical properties of the stone, a strange Lorenz-like attractor is observed in the model. We have traced both scenarios of appearance and break-down of this attractor.
