I think you’re right about mass reaching a limit. If this growth process can be explained by some chemical reaction, then the ingredients involved in the reaction would be consumed at some point. And this reaction would stop when the scarcest ingredient present is used up.

Exactly how old are these rocks?
The average rainfall in Romania in June, July and August is 20+ inches per month. After (perhaps) millions (or even billions) of years, shouldn’t the Trovant stones be larger than the earth and the earth appear to be merely a small round shaped that formed on the Trovants.
