The hard granite formation called an inselbergs have a unique shape which is thought to be 1.6 billion years old, but the rock itself 3 billion year's old.
The granite was originally hidden deep in the Earth’s crust, probably some 7-10 km below the surface, but over eons the overlying rocks have been eroded by wind and water leaving the weird rocks we see today
