    This old rock has been in my family ever since I can remember but I don't know where it came from. Do you think it is all natural or was it partly fashioned by someone?
    It's about 12 1/2 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches front to back. That is a 12 oz soda can in one photo.
    I always thought it looked like the head of a man with a hat on. I can't tell you what my older sister thought it looked like!
    This is probably not a typical "antique" asked about here but I would love some opinions. What kind of rock would you say that is?
    Thanks so much for replies! P1050220.JPG P1050221.JPG P1050222.JPG P1050223.JPG P1050224.JPG P1050225.JPG

    I like to tease my sister and tell her she has a dirty mind. I see she's not the only one!

    Certainly granite. It looks like a very worn staddle stone.

    It reminds me of that episode from Everybody Loves Raymond, where Marie made that sculpture. That's all I got.:p:p:p:p
