Moeraki Boulders
According to Maori legend, the Moeraki Boulders are Kai-hinaki (food baskets) that were washed ashore when a canoe was shipwrecked while searching for precious stones. Modern science is less sure about how the boulders were made. The current theory is that they started as lime crystals, which then attracted other minerals to form the spherical shape.
