The Growing Stones of Romania

Posted by Alex in Paranormal, Pictures on June 3, 2008 at 12:52 am


You’re looking at something that is quite strange: these are rocks found in Romania called "trovants." The locals call them "growing stones," and for a good reason: after the rain, small round protrusions appear as the rocks grow!

    Wow,
    I would actually pay to have one of those stones in my yard. I love rocks, and Im totally in love with these amazing things.

    I wonder what would happen if you placed an object on the stones and watered them thus forcing the stones to “grow” on it? Did I just suggest a new form of rock art?! :o

    Somehow I get the feeling that these are not technically rocks, but some kind of really hard fungus…

    Rocks don’t grow… Call me a skeptic.
