Re: Green stone?What do you see?Lion mountain....
Hi Alex... Your stone naming is great. The stone looks like both a mountain peak & a lion-- arguably including its full figure though the head is prominent.
It also recalls several famous allusions including from sources in China and India:
1. The Lions' Grove grotto/artificial mountain in a famous Suzhou garden-- it once (originating in the Yuan dynasty) included more-famed "lion" figure garden stones;
2. The Lion's Roar sutra originating in India with teaching on the focus of truth & emptiness;
3. The Lion's Peak-- a famous Tianmu Mountain (China) landscape feature.

Hi Alex,
it took me a wile to see it! But when I did see the creature, posing as a rock, it scared the .... out of me! It probably is because of the medication that I am taking, bud am I realy the only one who sees it?
Cheers,

Hi Alex,
I am glad you did! I thought my handy work would stay on knottiest! But there is more to see in your demon stone now!!! It's nose and ear are highlighted and shaped! And look real close....there is a eye watching every move that you make! That's what I saw in your mysterious stone!
Cheers.
