Looks like a broken piece of river worn bedrock.

Picture rock = picture of a rock?

There is an existing post called "got a rock you want identified" or close to that. There are several people that will help you there. Good luck.

Your rock has no visible characteristics of meteorites, and appears to be a common piece of river cobble.

Time for more coffee.

Not a meteorite. It looks green. The most common green river rock is in the serpentine group. May I ask what state you found it in? Sometimes nehprite jade comes in that color of green, but only in a few places in the US.

I like the fact that some people naturally see art in nature.
If you stop and think about that, it’s pretty cool.

We have a type of bedrock called “greenstone” it’s very hard and will polish smooth exactly like that.
I’ve seen some huge boulders that look similar.

If you look at it sideways it looks a little like Groot from "The Guardians of the Galaxy"

Can someone tell me why the website sometimes "turns" pictures sideways? And how to fix it? I rotated rock Groot to be properly oriented prior to posting it. If you click on it, it rotates to the orientation I intended, but in the post it's still sideways.
