These bowls are some of my collection I have in the yard. This isn't a real wise thing to do, but I grew up with Indian Bowls in everyone's yard, and even though four of my bowls have sprouted feet and walked off, I still have some in the yard, but if thieves take these, I'm not going to put anymore out there. There are no real special stories on these bowls. Two of the missing ones were damaged, but local, out of the creek behind the house, but further up stream. I found them around forty years ago on property I owned, before my X wife owned it. But that's a long sad story, and we'll keep it simple.
My wife keeps a flower pot in this moss covered one, and there is another flat rock with the bowl having come out the bottom, but it's under all that low growth that I'm not going to disturb, because I know who cooks my dinner. This bowl isn't granite, but is more of a softer rock, perhaps some sort of sandstone. It's a family find without a history behind it.
This is the same bowl with the flowerpot in it, and a 12 inch ruler to give an idea of scale. 
This bowl is damaged, but still useable.
Again, same bowl with ruler for scale.
These two are of course the same bowl, with the ruler showing scale. The one is made from sort of a flagstone. And finally, the last one shows the native people made bowls out of what they had handy, and this one is made from lava rock, and comes from N. California, on Hat Creek. My uncle owned a place that lots of water and quite a bunch of lava in one area. This bowl is off of his place, and is the only one we found, and there were no bedrock mortars.
The bowl part is shallow and hard to see in the photo. The rock is on it's edge trying to get the light to show the depression, but it's definitely a bowl in lava rock.
