Hi,
From what I can make out from the picture, I would say yes,
you could use it in your tank. Before you do that however,
you should prepare it by scrubbing it with a clean, unused,
brush under running water. Then take a knife and scrape the
surface so you have a fresh exposed surface. then dribble
a couple of drops of vinegar on the scratched surface.
If the vinegar just sits there, and I suspect it will, then
the rock is "safe" to put in the tank. By safe, I mean
that it won't affect the water chemistries (pH, GH, KH).
