Item Description
This old-timer is a "ventifact", a simple rock that has been given what appear to be polished "faces" by wind-driven sand or ice crystals. They are found in open areas given to high winds, so that over a very long time, what started as a rough rock is worn down, polished and to some extent "faceted" with flattened faces. ex.
