I will look at all sites I visit much differently now, thank you. I visited Cocoraque Butte last month with a mallet for the first time. Neat. When I return I will have more to investigate.
Interesting. Have you seen Guy Redcorn Nixon 's ( Osage ancestry/ in Eldorado County CA.) video about Singing Stones where tribal members along a ridge would communicate by tapping (?) - hearing the vibrations from some distance away.
phono stones are more common than you know especially in certain basalt rock jumbles, the less and smallest contact points to other stones in the pile the louder and clearer the note of ring. 50+ some years ago i used to look for these musical stones, often finding petroglyphs on or nearby There is a basalt pile west of wickeburg Az on Maverick creek if i remember, that jumble has stones with every note on the musical scale I think the chime's sound is literally baked in, depends alot on the cooling time of the lava Like the differences between basic pottery, china and fine porceline and glass..other stones with a ring can be found on desert pavement surfaces long baked in the sun for thousands of years, Death Valley and Inyo county in Ca has an abundance of volcanic phonostone as well as the chimes found on desert pavement.
rocks that do this are found in many places around the world. Petroglyphs are all over Arizona, to find them near each other doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Wow....fascinating presentation. Thanks so much. Another whole dimension to understanding the ancient past.

Amazing! So much we don’t know about indigenous culture!
The Earth sings!!
Thanks!
So wonderful! Reminds me of the Stone Circles Michael Tellinger's Rocks that are Bell like! This is so so interesting!
