Science has not yet managed to find a good scientific explanation for why some rocks sing. Various theories have been presented, but none of them have provided a good enough explanation for the phenomenon. The most common theory is that the singjar stones consist of a special mineral or a specific collection of minerals. This theory falls through as these stones consist of very many, and different, rock types.
