A simple round shape would probably be the best way to show off the complicated shape of your rock, As for the colour.......?

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.

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?

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.
