I have a rock I found on a northern California beach. It is about 8 inches square.
It caught my eye because it was unlike any other rock on the beach. The beach was comprised of granite eggs. Beach tumbled stones that take on an egg like shape.
I picked up the rock and on one of its faces is the symbol Pi in perfect relief.
It is an absolutly amazing freak of nature, or ?

Take it to a museum, get an expert to certify its age & manmade origin, sell it on E-bay or Sothebys, retire.

I handled a rock the other day from Illinois about the size of a dinner plate, slate. Around the edge were letters in the old Phoenician dialect. You know, that place just north of Israel, 3500 years ago? The fellow who showed me can translate that stuff. He knows where there are 4 more of them. They were left in caves adjacent to river junctions and they tell the destinations up the different channels.
Talk about a shiver.

If manmade, it would be a Pi art square.

I was wondering where I dropped that thing. I made it in shop class, shortly after learning about Pi in math class.
