A new type of rock that heavily contains electricity was discovered in the Republic of Congo. The latest discovery of the electric-laden mineral rocks went viral after videos emerged of the rocks lighting up a bulb and giving off huge electric sparks when they touched each other.
An online comment referred to the rock as Chalcopyrite or Copper sulfide or Cobalt Ore.
“These minerals and others can be used as the basis for creating your own natural generator. It’s all about semi-conductivity”, he added.
However, the discovery of the latest mineral/electric rock in Congo raised concerns amongst the people who feared the West coming to explore and mine the minerals and give the African country an unfavorable deal, or at worst, create further problems in the country.
“They showed the world and that’s where they messed up”, another said.
While another raised concern that the rocks might be highly radioactive and dangerous to the person holding it.
“It’s not just about that mineral it’s about the person holding the mineral” – Rod(CraZyMan)Corwin
“I feel like anything that gives off energy like that is radioactive and you don’t want to be touching it like that” – Paul Mbugua
