Over three hundred petrospheres in Costa Rica, are located on the Diquís Delta
and on Isla del Caño. Locally, they are known as Las Bolas. They seem randomly
distributed but with bird’s eye view one discovers patterns believed to be the
mirroring of certain constellations. The stone balls are made of hard rock,
often granite, and have true spherical shape in most cases. There are small ones
but the bigger balls are larger than 2 meters (6.6 Feet) in diameter and weigh
many tons. Some weighing in at 15 tons.
However, many of the balls have been removed from their original positions and
taken to gardens and public parks for decoration purposes. So it's virtually
impossible to examine the original collective alignment. Furthermore, many of
the stone balls were demolished in search of treasure as it was believed that
they contained gold or other valuables
