The mystery of rocks

In central and southern Romania, far away from densely populated cities, strange rocks exist. Local people even came up with a special name for them - Trovanty ("literally" cement sand "in the local language.) These stones not only grow but . give birth to babies. what.

The stones are strange

In most cases, Trovanty stones are round or oblong, without sharp edges. After the rain, people began to see the anomalies happening to these rocks: They grew up and increased in size like mushrooms.

Each Trovanty stone is 6 - 8mm in size, weighs a few grams and can eventually grow to a length of 6-10 meters, weighing more than 1 ton. Young rocks will grow faster, due to maturation slowing down the growth of Trovanty rock.

The inner structure of Trovanty stones is also extremely unusual . If you split a pair of stones, you can see many old rings surrounding a small solid core, like in a tree that has been cut in half.

However, Trovanty rock has a trait that makes inexplicable geologists the ability to "reproduce . " The process is as follows: After the surface of the stone is wet, it will appear a small bulge. Over time, the bulge will grow constantly into a new stone. When the new stone's weight is large enough, it will separate from the "mother stone".

Inside the new stone also exists humanity and this is the main mystery for scientists. If the development of a Trovanty stone can be explained somehow, from a scientific perspective, the hard core division process has not complied with any logic.

In addition, like the famous rolling stones of Death Valley, Trovanty stones often move from one place to another , even if they have been brought inside people's homes.

So far there are many theories, some scientific and some mystical, to try to explain the origin and strange behavior of Trovanty stone. According to some scientists, these special stones can be born from earthquakes that occurred about 6 million years ago. They are believed to contain a high mineral content below the surface, and when the surface is wet, the minerals begin to expand and put pressure on the sand to swell. This makes the stones grow.
