    It's out of it's natural habitat. The rocks help to purify the water as does quite a few other things like the local vegetation, cracks along the bottom, etc etc etc.

    That date is the expiry date of the bottle, not the contents. Plastic degrades and leaches chemicals into the water.

    I would like to know how long it has been bottled before said expiry date. Apparently a very long time.
