It looks like it may be granite which is about the same color as your piece and usually contains quartz and feldspar. Granite is used by native Americans and by the Indians of Mexico and South America for grinding stones and bowls. They often take on the appearance of your statue. Crystals are very evident in polished granite headstones.
