PRESCOTT, AZ -- A rock for all ages has returned to Prescott.
The red colored rock, shaped like a heart, was on top of Granite Mountain west of Prescott until it was removed three weeks ago.
Someone apparently decided it needed a new home in a Phoenix garden.
But word went out that the 65 pound rock was missing and it was returned, wrapped in a towel, to the Prescott National Forest's downtown Prescott office Monday.
The heart-shaped rock has been revered for more than a decade.
Climbers have made it a ritual to stop at the unique rock before and after their climb on the vertical face of Granite Mountain.
Prescott Forest wilderness ranger Jason Williams said that no prosecutions are planned for removing the rock from federal land.
