Okay.....

 

Wow thats really weird, phosphorus covered rocks on the beach. Just one of those freaky things I guess. I am sure glad there is no correlation with the nearby military base.

Wouldn't you think it might be more of an industrial waste problem? Who in the area is producing Phosphorus containing items?

 

Additional tests shed no light on mystery of 'burning rocks'

Additional testing by a California state laboratory has failed to unravel the mystery of the “burning rocks” that scorched a Southern California woman early this month after erupting into flames in her pocket.

Results of the tests by the state lab, released Thursday, confirmed initial testing by the Orange County Public Health Department that found elevated levels of phosphate on the rocks, but provided no explanation of its presence.

Chemistry experts have said they do not believe the phosphate was naturally occurring and have speculated that the rocks could have been coated with phosphorus, which can spontaneously ignite when exposed to oxygen.


Here's an interesting tidbit.. might explain where the phosphate came from

“Since the land is owned by the United States Marine Corps, operated by State Park Rangers, and the rocks were located in the County of San Diego, any future inquiries on this matter should be directed to the appropriate authorities,” it said in a statement.

 

I did some thread merging above so we don't have stuff scattered all over.
