Because a rock is a discrete reality it will naturally be experienced in similar manner by intelligent creatures. Your experience of the rock (your "ideas") are concepts that arise from your perceptions.

All manner of rocks out there , from the rare to the common silicate . Yet to know which are the sacred rocks vs which are not....ahhh , that is the key ! We pile them up in great heaps more organized as time wore on , arranging them and fitting them together to form walls and defences and cities , like certain shell creatured denizens of the sea . And for launching missles , the ones formed from heat thrown from the volcanoes that could be flinted into sharp points and edges , revolutionized our ways of life on earth .

There is the talisman stones marked with magic signs that were believed to confer upon the wearer some supernatural powers & protection . The rare rose & ivory granites from which the adoring statues of graceful women & mighty men were carved to stand as testament to our idea of undying admiration of beauty & strength . There is the rock of faith and the rock of ages and the rock that the mussel & cockles fastens too and the lichen which derives also its sustenance from . We are composed of the elements of rocks ourselves ,
which might be an innate inherent a clue !

There are also curling rocks are made of rare, dense, and polished granite quarried only on Ailsa Craig, an island off Scotland's coast to to which the Norwegians and Finns also delight in launching along the ice ....and the Vodka or Scotch on~the~rocks to celebrate their victory after, or to commiserate the loss .

* Then there are the "rocks" who are very tight players in poker who only bet and raise only in highly "favorable" circumstances and sit there endlessly patient .
