Big mossy rock

[firehorse12]

I found this big, heavy, rock at the river (my husband didn't appreciate having to lug it back to the car - ) it has several shell-like embeds and sparkly places. It is my favorite rock in my garden. Does anyone know what kind of rock it is? I have several like it.

Looks like limerock, ancient reef. Bet those shells would glow orange under blacklight!

Thanks for looking! It is a really fascinating rock. I never get tired of looking at it. This morning drinking coffee on my bench it was beautiful in the sunlight.

Oh, I love the ones I've set aside in various nooks of my yard/wannabe-garden beds that always catch my eye again and again, just the way it probably caught your attention in the middle of a zillion "normal" rocks before you even uncovered the grime. There are a few that I've just somehow honed in on despite not really being special in the river bed, but that at least provide me with that personal joy of the find.

I agree with TOMCLARK about what it is. If that is your pic I maybe can understand your husband carrying it. I have known a few women in my 65 years, but I wouldn't have carried that rock six inches for anybody. Your husband must be a good man, that or it was the only way to stay in your good graces.

Funny Chisos - well, he wasn't happy about it. In fact he still reminds me about it. But I just HAD to have it! hahaha He has his moments.
