What's the matter with the strange stone with white hair?

The world is full of wonders. On a round stone, there are dense white hair with a length of 10 cm. At first sight, it really makes me feel incredible!

One afternoon about seven years ago, a friend suddenly broke into my house with a hairy thing in his hand. My friend didn't say anything when he came in, but he put it in front of me mysteriously and carefully. "What is this?" I looked at this white haired thing and felt a little cautious. I asked him twice in a row. My friend still held it back and just smiled. I picked it up and weighed it. It's heavy. It should be a stone. But what's the matter with these white hair? My friend looked at me puzzled for a long time, so he told me that it was a strange stone that had just arrived at the strange stone market. He didn't understand why it looked like this. He was just curious and thought it should be a valuable treasure, so he spent a lot of money to win it.

My friend also said that I study stones and asked me to feel his pulse. I thought in my heart, I hope you don't let the counterfeiters make fun of such strange things! To tell you the truth, even if I'm a rock maker, I can't understand everything! While I stroked those long white hair, I leaned over and smelled it. There was a faint fishy smell. Looking closely at the joint between the hair root and the stone, it is very natural and there is no trace of artificial bonding. Finally, I found a part with dense hair, pulled out one, and observed it in magnification. The result showed that the hair was hollow. I can't tell the smell when I burn it with fire. It's not the smell of hair anyway. What is this? My friend can't give me the answer for a while. I discussed with my friend: "if my friend is at ease, baby, put it here first and pick it up in three days." A friend is naturally an answer.

When I sent my friend away, I began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to check the information and find the answers, but I didn't dare to jump to conclusions after working hard all night. The next day, I took this monster to Ocean University to find friends engaged in the ocean. Fortunately, it didn't take much effort. With the "full assistance" of several "experts", the mystery was solved.

This is a natural stone. It is composed of two parts. The lower part is the ordinary pebble on the beach, and the hair on the stone is actually a marine creature similar to coral. This kind of marine life is to live on stones or shells. As these creatures age, their bodies grow tall. This is why the "hair" on the stone grows. These hairs are soft in the water. Only when they are fished out of the water, their bodies begin to harden and turn white with the death of their lives. Therefore, what we see elsewhere is the appearance of white hair.

This kind of strange stone is mostly found in the rocky reef areas of shallow water intertidal zone, such as the Taiwan Strait of China and some subtropical countries with excellent marine environment.

Things in the world are like this. If you see through, you can't feel anything. The stone with long hair is actually a common product of nature. Moreover, it is not uncommon in the market (of course, it should be said that there are true and false), so it is not as mysterious as some media say, and its value will not be "connected to the city".
