Anyone know what kind of rock it is? Other than a love stone..... Life ain't supposed to be easy.

How hard is it? Will it scratch easily with a nail? If not, basalt might be your answer. As to the oily surface, maybe they treated them with oil or wax to make them a little glossy??

A few years back they started rip-rapping the shores in front of all the expensive lake homes to prevent erosion. Excavators and landscapers started buying up all the rock piles the local farmers had been saving for generations. Once the farmers got wise to what was going on, prices of rocks went up considerably! Last edited by 20scout; 04/12/21 05:56 PM.
