But these “meat rocks” aren’t just a one-hit-wonder. According to the Viewing Stone Association of North America, these meat rocks are typically made up of “agates, chalcedony” and “different colours of Jasper.”
Some of these meat rocks even resemble bacon!
These precious stones are particularly highly demanded in China. In fact, Chinese locals have a special museum in Lushan, China dedicated to these rocks, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. There are even different classifications of meat rocks for collectors to identify those of higher quality, which can earn quite a good sum of money if sold.
Who knew rocks could look so delicious? What do you guys think of this?
