Shown are "tone stones" owned by two rock collectors in Changning, Sichuan Province. When shaken the large one, 13 centimeters wide and 8 centimeters tall, reportedly produces a deep "dong" tone. The small one, 9 centimeters wide and 6 centimeters tall, is said to give off a lighter, higher "dong" when shaken. The type of stones and explanations for their alleged musical qualities are unknown. Photo: www.scol.com.cn
