Having spent a lot of time across the pond, I've seen this rock quite a few
times. It's a truly magical object, inspiring awe, respect, and an
almost-irresistable desire to touch it.

It's also about the right size to make a small tabletop. Given its solidity
and slightly rough (from the inscriptions) surface, it would make a perfect
platform on which to break up puerh cakes.
