hairy stone

A stone growing long white hair was given a price of 10 million yuan (£650,000) at an art exhibition.

The hairy stone exhibited at the 3rd China (International) Treasure Stone Exhibition /Lu Feng.

The stone, exhibited at the 3rd China (International) Treasure Stone Exhibition, is around 30 cm long and has 15cm long white hair.

Staff of the exhibition say the hair must be the remains of a kind of fungus, which grows on the surface of the stone and makes it look like a hairy head, reports Tianfu Morning News.

oh i've read about this

Code:

On March 16, 2007, an unusual rock went on display in Beijing. This rock has “hair,” almost identical to human hair, growing out of its “head.”


The rock is iron gray in color, naturally smooth and rounded, and is similar to a cobblestone. There is also a very thin layer of scalp tissue connecting the “hair” to the rock. The hair is grey in color and similar to the color of the rock itself. The hair grows quite naturally from the top with the longest strands being about 15 centimeters (6 inches) long. The hair is slightly coarser than human hair.

The rock was found on a beach, and according to Fashion Rock Café’s executive Miss Yong, this kind of rock is named a “hair-growing rock”. As long as conditions are right, the hair on this rare rock will continue to grow. Only two other hair-growing rocks have been reported in the world; and both are in a Taiwan Museum.

This “hair-growing rock” is in a glass display case at the Fashion Rock Café, located in the Digital Building in Beijing’s Zhongguan Village. The rock measures approximately 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) long, 20 centimeters (7.8 inches) wide, and about 15 centimeters (6 inches) high.
