First of all, is it allowed? Do we find any of our post-Terach ancestors owning pet rocks?
On Shabbos, it is probably Muktza unless you do something to it. Otherwise, if it is small, perhaps you may not even pet it.
Are you allowed to talk to it? Perhaps you may say anything other than Atta Yeledetani. What if it is older than you?
If you get angry at it are you allowed to throw a stone at it?
lol
Depends, Is it a good rock?
It’s completely assur! It might lead to owning a pet dog!
Perfectly Muttar and if you see someone being Mechalel Shabbos you can throw it at them

Mine’s name is Evan. We feed him Cocoa Pebbles.
My rock is actually quite serious, not a letz at all (that’s his owners job). He understands things quite well.He is actually finishing up his degree in geological engineering at stonybrook
On shabbos, you can peek at out of the corner of your eye as you sing “Tzur Mishelo”.
If it dies R”L, you can say “Hatzur tamim Paolo” at the levaye.
You can give it ground coffee for breakfast.
Name yours ‘5 miles’, then tell everyone you walked 5 miles today.
And you could sing it to sleep with “rock” chazak
It’s not speaking that makes it avodah zarah, it’s believing.
Does anyone know of any kosher for pesach rock food?
Try shmura matzah balls without seltzer…
why not seltzer?
my rebbe always told me to stay away from rock.
Seltzer makes for a very fluffy, fragile mix.
