Looks to me like a projectile used in conjunction with some sot of launcher, such as a catapult or perhaps a slingshot like type of weapon.

Pretty expensive and labor-intensive rock.

Look at the differences between the holes in that one. If a projectile, why would each hole be of a different, but precise, size? One hole might be larger to put something inside it, but other than that largest hole, look at the distances between the inner and middle rings.
