Yes, I can do that. I can't really prove it unless you hook up my brain to a screen that extracts and displays my cognitive vision. Are you seeking to find an opposite to 'stone' or something, to which you can compare that stone?

I kinda thought it was, but I've met stranger arguments so one can never be sure.
Just as not to stagnate in nitpicking: Is it your conviction that there are no real objects, independent of a mind interpreting them, that bears the qualities equivalent to the mental conceptions which we commonly refer to as 'stones'?
