MessageToEagle.com – Earth is an amazing planet and our nature is full of wonders.
This time we would like to focus our readers’ attention on another amazing geological phenomenon, namely the so-called growing stones.

It is difficult to imagine that stones can really grow, but these stones seem to be alive!

The Romanian Trovants Museum Natural Reserve is located in Valcea County, close to the road connecting Ramnicu Valcea and Targu Jiu, 8 km far from Horezu.

Here in a small village named Costesti, there are some fascinating and mysterious stones, called trovants that are believed to be alive…

Trovants in Romania are stones that grow.

There are sand or grass levels with trovants in many places of Romania, but the ones in the region of Costesti are particularly impressive because of diversity of their shapes (mostly spherical or ellipsoidal) and dimensions.

The term “Trovant” is a term used in Romanian geology.

Trovants – represent a quite bizarre geological phenomenon, which consist in spherical shapes of cemented sand due to some powerful seismic activity that occurred 6 million years ago.

The earthquakes definitely contributed to the creation of the first trovants. It is assumed that trovants consist of a stone core, with an outer shell of sand.
