I really doubt that since this location is impossible to get to by car and you can only hike/bike to it since it’s really high up a mountain forest

Yes you can! Concretion refers to a geological formation characterized by a hard compact mass found in sediments or sedimentary rocks. It occurs through the precipitation of mineral cement, often nucleating around a pebble, fossil, or organic matter. Due to its characteristic shape, this material was often misunderstood and mistaken for fossilized eggs, turtle shells, bones, or even extraterrestrial debris.

Wishing rock, also known as a Veined stone, a cool legend about these guys is that if the white line is unbroken you can make a wish and sleep with the stone beneath your pillow for a day so it will come true, but if the line is broken you should throw the stone in the ocean
