All jokes aside, that is a really nice looking rock.

It's not the only black rock to have been used to dupe people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone
The Black Stone (Arabic: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلْأَسْوَد, al-Ḥajaru al-Aswad, 'Black Stone') is a rock set into the eastern corner of the Kaaba, the ancient building in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve.[1]
The stone was venerated at the Kaaba in pre-Islamic pagan times. According to Islamic tradition, it was set intact into the Kaaba's wall by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 605 CE, five years before his first revelation. Since then it has been broken into fragments and is now cemented into a silver frame in the side of the Kaaba. Its physical appearance is that of a fragmented dark rock, polished smooth by the hands of pilgrims. Islamic tradition holds that it fell from heaven as a guide for Adam and Eve to build an altar. It has often been described as a meteorite.[2]

Another couple of worshipped black rocks, that are worth millions, are Chris Rock and Dwayne Johnson.
In this case, I would call it a Shamrock.
Whomever got paid wasn't too clever, because normally, paper beats rock.
Fluorite over your heads.

And if you boil them for long enough , add some salt and pepper, they make a good tasty meal. Something only the poor and hungry will appreciate.
