Hi, i dont think the rock is fake, a rock is a rock and when it falls down in the forrest it does make a noise lol hee hee
However the story behind it might be fake, i dont know... But as the story goes.
Many many years ago there was a man that went to the virgin islands on a business trip. While there he had some free time and so he went skin diving off the coast with a group of friends. While diving he saw this rock sticking out of the ocean floor and decided that he had to have it. So his friends helped him get it back to shore and they shipped it to the good ol USA, where it sat in his back yard for many years. The story does not say if he passed away or just moved away but at some point the house sold and was then sold several more times with each owner having the rock in their back yard but never really paying much attention to it. Then my parents purchased the home and the neighbor who had lived next door for 50 years told my dad of the story behind the rock. When my folks sold the house and moved away they loved the rock so much that they took it with them to the desert.
And now my dad gave it to me, and i put it on the floorboard of my truck and hauled it back with me to E. Texas where it now sits in my yard. As far as i know, noone with any expertise in the rock world has ever certified and determined the kind of rock, where it likely came from, and how old it is. Although the rumor is that it was over 4000 years old when it was found in the ocean.
That is all i know about it..
