Trowants (living stones) are unique bodies that grow, change in size, and multiply. An unusual mineral life form is phenomenal, so it still arouses keen interest among scientists and ordinary people.
Trovantes, located in the southern part and in the territory of central Romania, do not differ in appearance from ordinary stones.
It is after precipitation on the surface that active growth processes begin in the stones.
According to some scientists, in a fairly short time, a small stone can become a large boulder.
It was noted that small-sized trovants grow much more actively than their larger counterparts.

The size of the stones is determined by the long-term processes of cementation of historical sand from the bowels of the planet.
By the type of their structure, the trovants are similar to trees and their inner part has very characteristic rings of life.
In the central part of the mineral form, there is a core, which is a kind of core.
The surface area under the influence of water gradually increases, turning into a kind of budding growth.
All formed growths have a structure identical to a large stone, are able to increase in size and multiply.
Scientists associate the growth of trowants with the presence of layer-by-layer cementation, which develops around the seed central part.
Growing and multiplying boulders invariably attract tourists. A similar popular natural phenomenon is represented by the museum-reserve in the commune of Costesti, opened more than ten years ago by a group of students of geologists and geophysicists.
