I found it by a creek. It fits perfectly in my palm.

Best first post for a community so far

Thank you. I can't wait for even better rocks.

This looks exactly like the rocks on Little Hunter’s Beach in Acadia National Park in Maine.

I have two such rocks that I stole illegally from the park at the age of appx five years old. They are very cool rocks.

Did you find yours near there, or somewhere else?

This rock lived near Lake of the Woods in Canada, but I'm so happy to hear we're rock twins.

Must be an elderly rock. Time makes fools of us all.

IT'S NOT A TUMAH

I see this comm was just made, and I’m going to subscribe so I can post later. 😁

I like your rock, it looks like a type of granite, but I’m only a rock enjoyer, not a rock identifier.

I'm excited for your rocks. This is the perfect place for rock enjoying, no one needs to know shit.
