2. Rock balancing is an art, discipline, or hobby (depending upon the intent
of the practitioner) in which rocks are balanced on top of one another in various positions.
There are no tricks involved to aid in the balancing, such as adhesives, wires, supports, or
rings.
■ Pure balance - each rock in near-point balance
■ Counter balance - lower rocks depend on the weight of upper rocks to maintain balance
■ Balanced stacking - rocks lain flat upon each other to great height
■ Free style - mixture of the two above; may include arches and sandstone.
