sacred rock

Revered geological formation

A sacred rock is a stone or boulder considered holy, spiritually significant, or possessing supernatural power within a religious or cultural tradition.

Many indigenous peoples venerate specific rock formations as dwelling places of spirits, sites of divine revelation, or markers of creation stories.

Uluru is a sacred rock to the Anangu people of Australia.

The term applies broadly—from massive geological formations to small stones kept as talismans.
