Indian Child Cries Tears of Stone: A Baffling Medical Mystery

The human body is a wondrous entity, with an amazing network of tissues, muscles, arteries, veins and organs all doing their thing to make everything work the way it should.
Every now and then, however, a bizarre occurrence throws the medical community on its heels, as there are no answers for some things — an uncomfortable but implacable fact.
There was a girl in India who cried tears of blood and to date, there has been no medical explanation as to what caused this anomaly.
Recently, the media covered a new case concerning a seven-year-old Indian child, named Kura Nitya, who cries tears of stone.
The medical community is baffled by this occurrence, which afflicts this child from 12 to 25 times daily.
Although there appears to be no pain associated with the shedding of these stones, which are similar to crystals, her eyes do swell noticeably before the tears fall down her face.
Apart from this bizarre happening, the child is perfectly healthy and shows no indication of any kind of eye infection or other malady.
Family members claim that the tears began about two weeks ago, and at first it was believed to be some sort of sign from God. After prayers failed to relieve the child of this very strange condition, the family reluctantly resorted to medical advice.
But they found no answers there, as not a single eye specialist has been able to explain this very weird phenomenon.
The stones are presently undergoing laboratory tests in hopes of a possible treatment, if not a solution.
There have been a few isolated cases of children shedding tears of stone. One, in particular, was found in Lebanon, which is indicated in the video below, but the cause of that occurrence also has gone unexplained.
