Can any geologists verify if these are pet rocks?

@troyunrau hmm. They look to me like wild rocks that have been fed enough to acclimatize them to people. Look how they're happy sitting on the porch near a high-traffic area waiting. That's probably where they get fed

Check if they have drill collars with a contract number.

Did they use the pet rock breeding kit? (A rock and a hammer).

No, assuming the rock id is correct (pet rocks), then these were discovered in situ -- hanging out outside a hotel.

I’m a south Hampton institute of technology graduate of rockology. These are indeed pet rocks

Those are actually wild rocks that have evolved a protective feature that looks like an eye to avoid predation. They're still rather friendly, just not domesticated yet!

Is that normal for rocks?

Only on Tuesdays.

These are a unique breed of Cyclopean rocks, hard to come by.
