[RC] Slick Rock - Tom Sites

Not being a geologist or from Utah, i'll approach this description from a gardners perspective and leave it to others to correct or add to it.
 
Its the biggest solid smooth stone i ever seen in any part of the world.  It has a quality that when you traverse it on horseback the sound is that of a 'dull sound'.  It looks the color of sand, yet its hard.  The stone is so big you can travel it for miles and it drops smoothly in ripples from what i saw to be 400'.  Who knows how far it goes into the ground.  Of all the stone i ever saw i'd call this the 'Zen Stone'.  Did i mention its slick?  Yes, its slick.  And i'd reckon thats how it got its name. ts
