Recognition of a new site of Trovants (living stones) in Gafsa, Tunisia: Romania is no longer the unique site

Trovants are some fascinating and mysterious stones called living stones and considered as a unique amazing phenomena in the world in Costesti, Valcea county, Romania.

Recently some trovant-like stones were recognized in southwestern Tunisia in Gafsa and comapred to the romanian trovants.










TROVANTS – the living stones

They are strange, quite bizarre, most of them have spherical or ellipsoidal shapes, or have the shape of 8 figure. They have different sizes from several centimeters to several meters. They are “born” in a sandy hill where the open air of the Trovanti Museum (unique in Europe) is located on a surface of about 1,1 hectares. The name of trovant has Romanian origin from the geologist George Murgoci.
