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...

    If you read the vedic scriptures which have been approved by sages,yogi's,spiritual leaders,scientist's,etc going back thousand's of years.You would then realise that even rocks,mountains.All none moving and moving entities have consciousness but not as developed as animals and especially humans.
    Great books and CDs for discovering life's mysteries are Bhagavad-gita as it is,Shrimad-Bhagavatama also downloaded from the net.
    Special author His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
    As the saying goes,nobody should be satisfied with the knowledge they know they should want to always know more and more.
