Trovants
Just south of central Romania is an area that has a number of strange stone formations that actually grow by themselves. Known as Trovants or "growing stones", they start growing after a heavy rainfall. Their core consists of hard stone, but their shells are made up a a sandy material. Scientifically, the stones are sandstone concretions, and their weird growing is achieved by an irregular secretion of cement.
