Jay,

I like it!

How large is this stone? While it could certainly be used as a figure (somehow turtle springs to mind), it need not be. With a daiza that would cradle the raised portion, it could easily be a beautiful mountain view stone.

I don't know if you have seen this blog yet, but here are two links to Mas' Nakajima's suiseki art, and to Janet Roth's blog about it.

If you look at some of his unique daizas you may find some inspiration for your stone.
