Weathered River Rock
Geological Specimen

Weathered River Rock

This item is a single, oblong, naturally occurring rock, likely a river rock due to its smoothed and rounded edges. The primary color of the rock appears to be a dark, muted green or charcoal grey, possibly indicative of a type of shale, slate, or basalt. Its surface is not uniformly smooth; rather, it exhibits distinct, somewhat parallel striations and ridges, suggesting layers within the rock or weathering patterns from water flow over an extended period. Some areas show a lighter, more brownish-grey tone, indicating natural variations in mineral composition or surface wear. The texture appears to be somewhat rough in these ridged areas. The overall shape is elongated and somewhat flattened, consistent with stones tumbled in a water environment. There are no clear distinguishing marks such as carvings, paint, or artificial modifications. The condition appears to be natural and weathered, with no visible breaks, chips, or artificial repairs. Its estimated age is geological, spanning thousands to millions of years, shaped by natural processes. This particular rock lacks any obvious unique features that would suggest a specific historical or cultural significance beyond being a naturally formed geological specimen. The craftsmanship is entirely natural, exhibiting the forces of erosion and sedimentation.
