Tell us how old your tank is and what is in it. What did you add last and when? You can reduce the ammonia by doing a water change.

Yes, the rock could certainly be the culprit. It may have had a dead spot from the tank at the lfs, where the water flow wasn't reaching it. Do a water change and keep an eye on it. If you see the ammonia spike higher then you may want to put the rock into a bucket or a qt tank until it re-cures.
