Hi Viki and welcome to the forum
I’m afraid I don’t see what you can see… even with some serious squinting. It does appear to be a rock rippled with turquoise but it doesn’t show any sign of modification to suggest someone has manipulated it to have any imagery. The shapes are just coincidental geological features of natural origin.
This kind of imagined imagery is what is usually known as “pareidolia”:

“Story stones” do exist of course (in most worldwide cultures), but usually they are painted…. also known as “painted pebbles”… and the imagery is very obvious. They’re a kind of portable rock art but more often than not, they’re relatively modern. This one is African and shows a cat (leopard?) on one side with a strange symbol on the other. I know nothing more about it other than it’s tribal but not ancient and has been made using a combination of scratching and painting.

Hi Viki
You changed your pictures to substitute a better one. Yes it's a better picture, but no it doesn't tell a different story. The shapes you see are natural.
[PS: If you want to provide new pictures, better to add them in a new post to your thread and leave the originals in place. If you delete the original pictures and replace them with something else (as here) you risk creating confusion because people may already have commented on them... and their comments may no longer make sense.]I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer my post and I hope you guys don t think I'm to crazy. Your somewhat right about it being natural formation for the most part it is but there are parts of it that don t seem to be, and it's defiantly has turquoise in it .
Artifact or Rock either way it's pretty intetesting and makes for quit the conversation piece around the campfire .
Again thank you for the input I appreciate it.
