That's a "pretty good rock" and an unusual shape - for a rock - 10 sided.  Almost a paperweight but not quite a decagon.

Several years ago a buddy of mine was building a new home and asked me to haul away some big rocks when he got the land cleared. A lady stopped and apparently thought I was delivering the rocks and asked what it cost for landscaping rocks like those. The favor job for my buddy turned in to a pretty profitable evening.  ;D ;D ;D

Up here in Maine, they grow in the spring,  actually the freeze pushes them up in the winter.  But I just pulled up three not quite as big as that yesterday ,one from the entry of my upper field and two off the shotgun range.  As the push up they are hell on the mower blades.

I was working in a glacial gravel pit years back when we uncovered a perfectly round 7 foot rock. On one side there was a bowl shaped divot. I wanted it for a bird bath. I filled a dump truck half way with pea stone got the 988 Cat loader, dumped in the rock and filled around it with more pea stone. I didn't want this thing rolling around in the truck. I hauled it home, drained out the small stone then dropped the tailgate and dumped out my prize. I got lucky and only had to turn it just a little to get the bird bath on top. It was great, the wife loved it and so did the birds. Life was good UNTIL, one cold morning in the middle of winter. There must have been a small crack I didn't see running through the boulder and the Wisconsin winter gave me two fairly ugly rocks sitting in my wife's flower garden. And there's never an end loader around when you need one >:(
