Yes, I completely agree that this is an odd sandstone. Amazing what interesting shapes nature with a bit of weathering and erosion can come up with. I think that the patina is something mineralogical.

I wouldn't throw that one at anyone or anything. It might hurt.  :P

Sandstone formed near the contact zones with other formations can be altered by the interaction of chemicals and minerals from those formations.  Changes in color and hardness are not unusual.  Strange shapes often result from differential weathering that exposes these differences.

Sounds logical to me, thank you.
