There comes a time in every person's life when they need to breed, this is a fact. What you're not told in the last year of primary school is that there comes a time in every rock's life when they need to breed. That's right, rocks breed, and by carefully controlling the breedstock, you can get different kinds of rock, isn't that great?!
In this Instructable, i'm going to show you how to breed rocks.

Any breeder will tell you that the stock is the most important part of breeding things. Any programmer will tell you GIGO, ergo if you want to get good baby rocks, you need to have good parent rocks.
I'm using a middle-aged basalt, and a gaudy ore. Peacock ore, to be exact.
You'll need a warm, dry place to put your rocks, and some way of ensureing that they're not disturbed when they're...doing whatever it is rocks do.

Can’t say I endorse this instructable. Rocks have rights and more important, they have feelings. You just don’t put rocks together and expect them to breed.
In the expression “Nature take it’s course”, the key word is “Nature”, therefore, the vast outdoors.
Just Google the expression “pedras parideiras” and find out how some rocks breed in the natural environment.
The birth rate is very low as it is all done *under pressure and often at ~gunpoint, which of course upsets the rocks and thus spoils the fertility of the feedstock and %when new rocks are born they are often deformed and die shortly after.
- That part IS true.
~ That part ain't true.% Ever seen the Fly?!
Here's a picture of one of his friend's rocks.
It only happens at random intervals and there has to be a good quantity of breed stock. I've not found a way to determine the sex of rock or even the breeding age of a rock. From those that I've found that are breeding the age of maturity must be pretty high.
Since the mating process has never been recorded there is a great possilbility that reproduction is probably asexual. But the presence of large quantities of individual rocks seems to promote reproduction. Maybe this causes a hormonal excess and fertility to start the process.
I first discovered that rocks to reproduce when I built my first house. The land I build on was fairly rocky already so there was a really good breed stock available. I was getting the area in front of the house ready to put down sod and for weeks I was removing the rocks to another lockation. After several afternoons of work I carefully took stock of what was left to move and every morning when I started again the was atleast twice as many rocks there as I saw the night before. The only explanation there could be was "rocks reproduce".
