Re: Stone from WA trip
A simple round shape would probably be the best way to show off the complicated shape of your rock, As for the colour.......?

Re: Stone from WA trip
Hi AG
Love the stone, my right arm is in the mail.
I agree with Brenda about displaying, a Suiban would be good but a well crafted Daiza would make this a world class presentation, why not go for both.
I see an unchartered island somewhere in the Carribbean, the Black Pearl about to sail into view.
Hope to see more pics soon.

Re: Stone from WA trip
Here are some more pics of the Stone. I think the long term aim would be to build a dai for it, but for now the simpler solution would be to find an appropriate suiban. What style suiban do you think? Round, oval, square? Dark, light?

Re: Stone from WA trip
I think a square Suiban would be the way to go for a summer display. Then you can hone your skills at making a Daiza.
I like the other stones too. I have some in this page. One Iron stone my son got for me from port headland next to a conveyor belt.
