Rocks from beach catch fire in woman's pocket

Rocks from beach catch fire in woman's pocket

It was Ambergris

I have read the story and come to the conclusion that the woman put rocks in her pocket and they caught fire.

Nothing gets past you...

This exact thing happened to another woman a few years ago. I saw on a show on A&E about Spontaneous human combustion and a woman put some shells in her pocket from the beach that had sulfur in them and a reaction caused a fire in her pocket while she was a passenger in a car going home.

yes the girls name was holly marshall, and those 'rocks' were actually crystals from a 'pylon' . crazy shit apparently happens when they come in close contact. at least thats what the altrusian enik told me

Phosphorus burns in air but not water. Rocks dry off in pocket and immediately burn giving off high heat. Turns into phosphoric acid which will dissolve skin to the bone... Nasty.

Interesting, never knew this ^

Ouch

Talk about a hot pocket....lol

This is very strange.

On a side note, I was outside a few minutes ago
and in the distance, heard Taps being played.
I've lived here a long time and never heard that before.
No military bases close except for a NRB about 10 miles
away.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (KABC) -- A woman literally burned a hole in her pocket from rocks collected on a family beach trip to San Clemente. In an Eyewitness News exclusive, authorities say the woman suffered serious burns.

The rocks contain various colors - some green, some orange. There were seven of them altogether, collected by a San Clemente family during a fun morning at Upper Trestles on San Onofre State Beach last Saturday.

"The daughters were playing with the rocks, and she took them away, and I guess basically, they combusted in her pocket due to friction," said neighbor Jacob.

Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Marc Stone said there were actual flames coming off the woman's cargo shorts.

"We found that a 43-year-old female did have severe burns to her leg, second- and third-degree burns," Stone said.

The incident remains under investigation. The county's health care agency says they're waiting for further test results on the rocks, but they believe two of them contained a phosphorus substance. The other five became cross-contaminated by being together in the victim's pocket when the reaction happened.

Phosphorite naturally occurs in the sea - [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Do a Google image search for phosphorite (for some reason it won't link here) to view many examples of oceanic phosphorite, some of which are brightly colored.

If a rock bearing methane clathrate in its interior ended up in the mix and was warmed up, it could also have put out flammable methane along a fissure and ignited by chemical reaction or piezoelectricity from the rocks knocking together.

Clearly a sleestack ate your brain.

Seriously ,about those taps, were they, quick short ones, that started slowly and gradualy went faster and faster, almost reaching a continous tone ?

Cause I had a event (taping event) once when I was out camping in BC, in Osoyoos, by the border.

It happen early in the morning at around 500, and was like a low F. very deep penetrating sound, seemed to be coming from under, it was felt by everybody, even if they were sleeping, it woke everyone in my group, the sound went across my meat to bounce back out on my bones, it felt like!
