Nature's Miracle at Doongar College: Floating Stone Astonishes Students in Bikaner

• A unique stone at Government Doongar College's geological museum in Bikaner floats in water, attracting students and visitors.
• Retired Professor Shishir Sharma identified it as Pumice stone, formed during volcanic eruptions when lava rapidly cools, trapping gas bubbles.
• The trapped air bubbles reduce the stone's density, making it lighter than water and allowing it to float.
• The stone, brought from Malaysia by a former student, serves as a practical teaching aid for geology and earth science.
• Such stones are found in marine and volcanic regions globally, showcasing nature's scientific wonders.
