[Bellflower]

A friend has a rock that is sort of more circular but sort of coned shaped on one side and on the other third or so it is rounded. On the interior of the rock it is a grayish granite type looking stone but a collar of more pinkish granite goes all the way around it dividing the one side from the other. The pinkish granite is about 3/4 to an inch thick and about three inches across. The grayish interior rock is probably about a foot or so across. It looks weathered because if you look carefully at it it seems a little pitted though the inner stone is smooth and the way the outer collar melts into the inner stone slightly even though it was probably carved very distinctly suggests that it has been around for a long time. Why would anyone long ago carve a stone to have a collar around it? It is interesting because whoever carved it obviously knew that the rock consisted of an outer crust of one kind of material and an inner core of another kind of material and therefore could carve the collar around the stone leaving a pinkish less smooth collar on a grayish very smooth stone. The rock is from south, central Wisconsin. Do any of you have any idea what this stone may mean or what it may have been used as? I think it is quite a mystery and am really curious as to it's origin and purpose. If any of you have any idea of what the stone means I would very much appreciate it is you could give me your ideas.
