People sometimes do this to scout easy targets to rob.
If it didn't move until their next burglary spree, you probably haven't been home since they planted it.
Put it away and ask around if your neighbours had something out of place in their front yard.
Thought so, I had just been out of town for that solar eclipse in Texas. Pretty wonky experience during totality, felt like the eye of God was looking at me and telepathy-ing me. I went to the EDM festival with a friend of mine that has been a pysche ward nurse in the past and she didn't say anything til I was home for a day. Good chance I didn't notice it until I was doing mania stuff and went "wat this rock".
Perhaps your subconscious has noticed other signs of potential trouble from whoever left the rock, leading to hyper vigilance as a defense measure, which has a lot of overlap with mania.
Your manic episode could have been triggered by the adrenaline and norepinephrine release of the hypervigilant state.
Jfc my lesdyxia didn’t read 4 inch “rock”
Yeah, I thought it said "sock" as well!
4 inch lock?
4 inch dock!
If you already struggle with some form of mental illness, it’s probably best to assume that you’re being irrational, rather than ascribe any meaning to this particular thing. There is a lot of random stuff that happens, and you could project meaning onto any of it to create a narrative. Unless you have a good reason to believe that a specific person or group is messing with you (not just a vague sense of unease) then it’s very likely that it means nothing.
Seems like op is trying to do that by sanity checkinh with others though, think that's a good idea
Post a pic
Okay that looks like a rock with a striation in it. They form in nature when a pebble is formed from a piece of rock that had several layers in it.
HERE are some more colourful ones.
Sometimes one of the layers is softer and crunbles leaving a "carved out" look.
You're probably just noticing it for the first time. Maybe it used to be up the other way and was disturbed by an animal or bird.
yeah; it looks natural to me. Might of just never been flipped to that side. Always finding trippy rocks in the garden here because house used to be near a riverbed, bits of quartz in them and such.
That looks natural. For proof chip it or break it in half to confirm the striation goes all the way through
& I do realize in hindsight it is a lot smaller than 4 inches. As the other poster suggested, I'm not trying to ascribe meaning to it.. just wondering if anyone is familiar with the potential symbology.
I grew up in a literal haunted house. All of my 4 older siblings had things happen, their friends would never want to sleep over after one time and would often leave early. Even my older brother when he was 16 with 4 other teenage boys had an apparition appear in the garage they were all sleeping and they ran out screaming.
My first memory with it was playing hide and seek when I was 4 and being under a desk, with my ear pressed against the wall. I heard a man's whispering. I didn't realize until I was 18 that where that wall bordered was directly adjacent to the closet one of my sisters had a shadowy figure stare at her from at night for years. She would often ask if any of us would sleep in there with her at night as she was terrified.
I am 100% serious, though being diagnosed later in life with bipolar type 1... Well, it is hard to be definitive about such things. I have another example if y'all are interested in hearing about it :|
What do you guy think was the intention with this?

Then after being told, with image examples, that it’s a natural formation.

Given the last line I would suggest to you that it’s probably not a bad idea to get in touch with your usual doctor/psych and talk to them. Especially if you are prescribed medication as BD can make adherence to a medication regimen difficult as I’m sure you’re aware.
Always remember, if in doubt, take these questions to a medical professional rather than the internet. Here you could be getting advice from people more unwell than you are and don’t know about your situation or BD.
There's no meaning to it. It's just a rock that happens to have a circle mark on it.
Definitely just a rock. Here's a link where you can see lots of rocks with interesting markings, including a bunch that look like yours but with even more delineated markings.

OP if you're thinking of this as anything other than just a regular rock then I'd suggest maybe getting in touch with your doctor
Are there children in your neighborhood? There is no reasonable answer for the weird, goofy shit kids do. It's probably meant to be your weapon when Burger King and Ronald McDonald create an alien race to take over the world. Their trying to offer you an opportunity to save yourself.
First, where do you get a rock rock.
Second, I'm pretty sure that's to rile you up. Pick it up, piss on it, mark it in sharpie with a "fuck you" then reverse what I just said and place exactly where you found it.
“fuck you” is too on the nose. It’s basically the confirmation the riler wants.
Put a single dot on the bottom in sharpie, just small enough that the person won’t know if it was already there and they missed it, or if OP put the dot there.
Then place it exactly back where it was before, and pretend to not have noticed it.
That, or replace it with as similar a rock as possible.
If it's the rock with the calcite or quartz circle, and if we ascribe any cultural/spiritual meaning to it, the closest I can think is you found a wishing stone.

What do you mean by a “line circle”?
