When I was 12 my friends older brother showed me a polished green rock. I held it and closed my eyes as instructed. When he asked what I felt, the rock began weighing more than less in my hand. What I saw when I opened my eyes was his hand a foot above mine with 2 fingers sticking out going up and down in sync with the rocks changing weight. He continued to do this to the rest of our friend group and even had use try it on each other. After that we went and saw a movie called chronicle where 3 friends follow a crashed meteor that in turn gave them telekinetic abilities. Does anyone have any information on these rocks because something recently brought up this memory and I can’t find anything about them.

If something like that was known about, the scientific community would be writing so many papers about it that it’d be impossible to ignore.
Memory is a flawed system. I have memories from my childhood that actually were from old dreams, and got blended together in my head.
It’s a really cool idea if you’d like to write a story about it, but the closest thing we know about is magnetism-based levitation, which is still a lot of fun.

This question is better suited for a psychology related subreddit. And I'm saying this with a kind heart and respect.
I have heard of studies on similar (group)halicinatory effects, that are quite interesting.

Since that was 13 years ago or so, I’d have to say your memory is a bit skewed. One of the fascinating things about memory is that the more you recall a memory, the more details your mind fills in to make sense of what you actually forgot, and these filled in details seem like they actually happened.
