Starting a new thread/collection about the Amazingly Balanced Rocks Around the World.
The balanced rocks are a geological formation created due to wind/water erosion or glacial melting. These precariously balanced rocks are wonder of the nature and to a viewer it looks that these would topple by a gentle human push or a wind force. However most of these rocks have remained steadfast for past several thousand years, though some were vandalised and pushed over. To some scientists these rocks are a sign of seismic stableness of the region.
Note: Please feel free to post here more amazingly balanced rocks. I will include such rocks in my Travelogue collection - Amazingly Balanced Rocks Around the World as well as in the consolidated kmz file of this thread.

Ice Cream Cone, Chavoshi, Bushehr Province, Iran.
A remarkably balanced rock in the shape of an ice cream cone. It was must have been shaped by the sand erosion due to frequent sandstorms. Perhaps some geologist can tell us more about this amazing formation.
