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)

Naturally since people are buying things, technically they are consuming.
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.
