There’s a very interesting U.K. site on rocks that were made into musical instruments — a bit of a historical curiosity — at this URL: http://www.michaeltill.com/

[That is so awesome that I have blogged it on About.com]

Thank you for this very informative blog. I check in a couple times a week and am always delighted by your description of one or another geological treasure in my hometown of Oakland. I am new to geology. I took an introductory descriptive geology class last semester at Laney college. I loved it. I have been reading as much as I can on the subject and I am keeping my hunger for geology knowledge satisfied by your About.com articles, your blog and some of the other geology blogs. Thank you for the good you put out into the community!! Cheers!

If you are interested in further historical accounts of ringing rocks, I would suggest the book “Unknown Earth: A Handbook of Geological Enigmas,” by William Corliss. It is published by the Sourcebook Project. Also good for accounts of singing sands, rocks that move, enigmatic depressions, etc. It is out of print. Wonderful book.
