Cookie too hard

If any of the holes go all the way through, we call that a Hag Stone.

Unfortunately not. I'll keep an eye out for one now, though.

Cool rock or cursed cookie?

Is that the wood that cats love to tussle with? Yarn, string, streamers, etc. just can't compare to it for satisfaction of the feline compulsion to ball up some fur. ☝🏼

Maybe they like that, too. The stuff they sell in pet stores is silvervine.

(It was a terrible pun, my fault)

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that was a long walk down down a short path. Good effort either way.

Sometimes, it's the journey.

The bar is so low for rocks; why can't it be that low for me...

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

I think you're cool.

Looks like some nice dissolution cavities

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Or... are those holes surrounded by rock?

Used to have a huge collections of rocks like this that I took home from the Frio River every summer.
