Monster of the Day: Monolith Monsters

Source:  The Monolith Monsters
Location:  Outer space/rural California
Threat Assessment:  6.  An odd mineral from space that grows in the presence of water and petrifies human with a touch.  Able to grow about twenty stories tall before crashing down, they destroy buildings with ease.
Limitations:  Salt inhibits the growth process.

Personal note:  If the meteor that was made up of this mineral had say fallen into the great lakes it would have killed millions.  The movie is a great example of 50's sf.
