Dear Masters of Whatsit; I believe it is an iron mineralization of sandstone cobble. The pock marks are where hot Sun and cold frost has popped out small parts (or spots are where a strong acid rain shower or hail storm hit it). The obvious fusion crust-like effect is from the oxidized iron mineralization of the sandstone. Either that, or its a rounded piece of casting sand from an engine block casting factory. It too will have the iron mineralization and the sand would also be the yellow-tan color. A shoddy imitation. Best Whatsit's to you, Dave Freeman
