That's what people think who have paid big bucks for interesting pieces of rock that look like mountains, or some kind of special natural feature, but very few are "au natural". They are enhanced by carving and most are polished to look like what the uninitiated think a rock polished by the natural forces of a river bed over a thousand years would look like. I say uninitiated to mean someone who hasn't fetched rocks out of rivers or streams because they can be interesting, but never "show ready". They are all special, but I mean they have all been worked on by someone who is a craftsman. A nice one goes for big bucks. The owners swear they are natural in every way, much the same way people swear their expensive (fill in the blank) is worth the money they paid for it because (fill in the blank).
Anyone who has polished a stone will appreciate the effort, special polishing compounds, and time it takes to produce such things, and on the scale of a couple square feet of irregular surface area... big time effort and worth every penny the craftsmen get.
