A rock!
I found a rock on the beach in Cornwall, nice big bugger, shaped like a right angle triangle and smoothed by the sea. I used it for loads, digging holes, breaking nutshells, threatening mates. I took it home where it served as a hammer, trowel, paper weight, all sorts of stuff. Eventualy it broke when I was hammering. I was gutted

I fucking loved that rock.

Finding a proper hammerstone is a joy of my life.
Rounded, hefty and solid, they are a tactile joy.

Grooves!

I want it!

well..
You can't have it!

It's flat on one side, so it makes a great paperweight when not being hefted, curved on the other so it fits into the palm of your hand, has two grooves for your fingers and a nice point on the bottom for the occasional banging in of nails.

Also, it's grey with odd black V shapes running up it's outward surface.

Found it on a beach in Scotland. Groovy, man.
