Grooved Stones of South Africa2.
Ica StonesAs was said, the more fantastic of the Ica stones can be considered fakes. Their owner refuses to divulge the location they were found, so archaeologists simply have no other choice in the matter.
The grooved spheres you mention are naturally occuring concretions that you have been lied to about. Also, there is only one single such sphere that actually has the three grooves in it, though it may be true that several have a single or parallel groove. Most have none at all.
Here's some info from a geologist on them:
The South African SpheresAt the end of the article, the Geologist (Paul Heinrich) states

The study of these nodules is ongoing. At this time, I am trying to obtain via surface (snail) mail actual specimens of these and copies of private reports containing data about them. This unfortunately, will likely take some time, possibly months.
This was in 1996. I'm certain I've read Heinrich's update on this from a year or so later somewhere online, but I can't find it now. It was in the favorites file of the computer that I had two computers before this one. As I recall, it was far more scathing that what I've linked you to.
In the article I linked, Heinrich investigated a claim from the idiotic "documentary" The Mysterious Origins of Man and the even more ridiculous book Forbidden Archaeology by Michael Cremo (the dropout Hare Krishna beach bum rip off artist.) In that book, one of Cremo's sources was a reporter for the Weekly World News. This "reporter" is the source for the claim that "...The spheres are of two types--one of solid bluish metal with white flecks, and another which is a hollow ball filled with a white spongy center..."
The Weekly World News is the "paper" that broke the "news story" that Batboy had escaped the clutches of Government scientists, joined the Marines and is today fighting for our freedom in Iraq.
