I am not sure if it is quite a Scholar's stone [ which is Chinese ] ???
Though I am curious as to how you would use it.

Have you tried this? Does it sound like Jackie Chan or Yoko Ono?

Az, I meant it didn't look like a Scholar's stone. What could you imagine ?
A Scholar's stone is for contemplation.

AZ what do you contemplate when you look at your stone ?
I am not the deepest thinker, regardless of the quality of the stone. However, I think I see where you are going. The rock is not that contemplative. I see a squat little man bowing forward....I guess that would make it more of a Japanese Suiseki.

Seems to be a limestone which would qualify it in China, but the best there are from three different areas and named so.
It does have awkward and overhanging asymmetry which is very good.
Does it ring a bit when struck? If so it is also a desired quality.
When representative of any object or landscape is also desired.
A glossy surface is also desired but could be corrected.
So it appears to have the aesthetics of a Scholar's Rock. Treat it as such, clean it, gloss it, put it on a Rosewood stand and enjoy
