Stone Mountain was formed about 350 million years ago from intense heat and pressure deep within the earth. Centuries of erosion uncovered the massive gray rock and sculptured it into the curious shape it has today. At one time, its hard granite surface attracted miners, but the rock proved too difficult to mine, and Stone Mountain was eventually donated to the state of North Carolina. Today it is protected as a state park.
