CHINA—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.

The value of the rock is estimated to be around 10 million Yuan (approximately USD 1.3 million).

    You mentioned there was scalp (tissue?) on the rock, has anyone done any tests on the tissue to find out its origin? Because as far as I know only an organic lifeform can grow hair. Unless off course the rock is has retained its organic traits despite fossilization... In which case where does it get the nutrients to grow the hair... Or, and more likely it has some sort of fungus growing on it.

    I too think it's a fake

    Maybe its a fungus? Its definitely not real hair though. Its probably just a rock wearing a wig.

    Maybe it's half of a skull that forumed into a rock and hair grows from it?
