Can you imagine playing music with rocks?
Well listen to this rock concert!
Incredible, no? Yes I find pretty amazing that such clear and bell-like tones emanate from the stones when they are struck with a hammer.
Mysterious ringing stones?
Singing boulders are found in different places around the world, i.e., UK: Musical stones of Skiddaw; USA: Pennsylvania, Montana; Australia: Bell Rock Range.
The best known is probably the Ringing Rocks Park in Upper Black Eddy, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which is 7 acres large and over 10 feet deep.
It is secluded within a forest, thus adding to this mysterious sound a mystic taste.
The exact mechanism responsible for the ringing tones remains a mystery.
But one thing is sure, these rocks lose their musical ability once taken away from the other stones. Just another mysterious geological oddity!
