Information
has glosseng: A petrifying well is a well which seemingly turns objects into stone. If an object is placed into the well and left there for a period of months or years the object acquires a stony exterior. At one time this property was believed to be a result of magic or witchcraft, but it is an entirely natural phenomenon and due to a process of evaporation and deposition in waters with an unusually high mineral content.
