Petrified Honey Found in Mexico Revealed
A Mexican Indian and American prospector Bert Terry describe a discovery 150 kilometers south of Chihuahua City where petrified honey, believed formed by prehistoric bees, remains in limestone crevices. Terry tastes the white crystalized honey, comparing it to rock candy and speculates on ancient processes and slow petrification over thousands of years. The site is remote and guarded by locals, making any practical use unlikely.
