Description
English: La Piedra de la Rosa at Parque nacional del Teide. It is result of prosesses which were initiated when the lava river got cold, which formed this singular geological structure. When lava is solidifying, it's mass contracts and cracks; that is when the rocks are exposed to the wind and weather, they sometimes tent to crack adopting some characteristic shapes. In some cases, you can find balls produced by spherical flake off; in other cases, when the rocks are broken into hexagonal prisms, the "organs" are created. If the cracks are of a radial type, "stone pedals" are easily loosen, producing the formation of roses.
