Most rocks are basic, run-of-the-mill objects. They're found everywhere on most planets, have little to no intrinsic value, and are about as ordinary as... well, a [[Shaped Like Itself|rock]].
 
Then, there are these. A rock'''Rock of limitlessLimitless waterWater''' is a rock, stone, or other similar object that [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|emits a steady stream of water]] from itself. Such an item is generally held as an object of reverence, either from a [[God|deity]], [[Cosmic Keystone|other mystical force]], or perhaps [[Eldritch Abomination|something more sinister]]. These [[Plot Device|items]] are generally desired for their otherworldly powers by heroes and villains alike.
 
Such an item can be found across media types, occurring in film, video games, and television alike. However, due to the nature of the trope, examples will generally occur in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and/or religious scripture. As this trope is at least as old as [[The Bible]] and [[Classical Mythology]], this trope falls squarely into the realm of being [[Older Than Feudalism]], and possibly is [[Older Than Dirt]] as well.
