A rock is not a consumer good, so no.
And a rock is unique, nice to look at, did not cost you anything and kind of an appreciation of nature.
Enjoy your rock! (i'm sincere)

I mean that collecting a relatively small number of durable and visually pleasing objects isn't really the worst flavor of consumerism, even if it seems pointless to some people.
I agree we have a massive problem with over-consumption (most glaringly with things like fast fashion), but I'm not sure record collectors are a big problem.
