You can take those grey shell rocks you find at the beach and sand them smooth. They look much cooler then. While you sand them the shapes visible on the surface change. Alot of times it will look like there are distinct pictures in them. In my case I sand too much and loose them. There is this one guy, though, who is a master!

Shell, WY. This store has been a fixture in my life since childhood. When I was a kid my dad would open a tab for us at this store and we'd treat ourselves to soda and candy every day.
