Stone Eye
Whether it's natural, or someone was inspired by the shape of the breakage in the stone to fill in the iris/pupil, it was startling in any case.
Makes one think of the animistic belief about spirits residing in everything in nature.

The Eye Of The Firestorm
Maybe this sounds like something a fan of those old kitchy Hammer Horror movies might say (I confess I am one), but surely this is Baphomet, the horned goat-deity of old, come to unholy life and staring out of the hellfire to which it had been consigned! Burning in the deepest pit of Hades, and over it a dragon biting its horn -- perhaps Satan himself..?
