This one looks a lot rougher and irregular than others we’ve gotten a look at.

How big is it?

Friend of mine thinks this is a photo taken in a studio or something. What can I say to make her realize this is real?

Even though it’s in black and white only, it’s an amazing photo of an impressive rock.
