Rock Oil Recipe*

Rock Oil is an old home remedy that some guy posted on the internet, but it seems to work. It can cure most diseases that a rock can catch.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Pour some of the juice into a small container or Bottle Top.

2. Dilute the juice with the Bottled Water.

3. Sprinkle some of the Talcum powder, Chalk Dust or fine sand into it and mix well.

4. Gently pull the pettles off your small flower and float them on top of the Mixture. Place the mixture in a small bottle top and put it in your Rock's house for it to drink at it's leisure. Leave it there for an hour and then remove it and replace it with a fresh cup another hour later. Rocks only drink in very tiny sips so you will not notice any difference in the mixture when you remove it.

*Rock Oil is available for sale in our Official Merchandise Page.
