I never thought such a skill could be that popular worldwide. But I was proved wrong. Rock ballancing is not just a hobby, it’s an art or a discipline. Arranging the rocks to balance requires great attention and devotion. It might appear impossible but many people have managed to do it. There are 3 styles of balancing rocks: pure balance, where each rock is in near-point balance, balanced stacking, where the rocks sits flat one on the other to great height and free style, which is a combination of the two. Here is a demo of how rock balancing looks like.
