moki

I was wondering if anyone here could help with translating the box that the suiseki I purchased at the Tokyo Green Club:

I was told that the suiseki I bought has "two names" -- but I'm not sure if they are the names of the stone itself, or the names of the person who found the stone, and then the person who made the box. There is also some writing that should describe where it was found, but as I think we both know, my Japanese is... well, "limited" would be putting it nicely. smile.

From what little I've been told, it says something about "mountain of the old forest" or such?

...and here is the back:

This is the writing on the base of the daiza (stand):

The images don't look that good, but I tried to boost the contrast so the writing was more readable.
