The picture of the stone is blurry, which causes the stone itself to be unidentifiable.
The "stone" looks black- almost like it could be obsidian or black onyx. But the part that confuses me is the red patch on the front. This is what makes me thing that it isn't a stone.
As stated above, I wouldn't accept anything from anyone unless I knew there was no negative intent. But accepting a stone from someone you are not familiar with is not a good idea. I would cleanse the stone itself, and if you want to keep it... Well, that's your descision.
Like the others have told you it's not best to take a stone from someone else's, especially if they've already used it. So anyway, considering you didn't list the name of the stone, and that the guy didn't tell what it was for, no one can give you an accurate answer.
As a little advice, be mindful of who you take things from. It seems quite strange that this "man" told you to hang it in your bedroom to the east on Saturday.
Well I can only agree with what most other here said taking it was not a smart idea keeping it may be even worse doing as he said could win you a Davin prize.
But what do I know, do as you think is best but practice caution.

Unfortunately, all magick is not made alike. What one thinks in one part of the world may be entirely different than the other. For instance black is the color of mourning and death in America, but white is the color of mourning and death in China. Literally, very highly contrasted in variation.
You are from Denmark and I am unfamiliar with that area besides knowing that many famous alchemists were Danish/Swedish. So, I went with that. Based off the fact that he gave you a rock that doesn't really look like a rock, I'd say it's not a rock, but perhaps a created object that looks like a rock. It has 10 dots and a symbol that looks much like the alchemical symbol for lead, and saturday is ruled by saturn and saturn rules the metal lead. The black color, well, saturn is also the color black. Although a few hours of researching and looking through my books, I may figure out why the number 10 and the direction of East (perhaps Saturn is in that direction right now?) I can't give you much more information.
My husband dabbled in alchemy and astrological magick many years ago, so I am somewhat familiar with it, but I am no expert. Beyond correspondences, I can't give you much more. I know it is a very very tricky planet to work with. So I would not suggest "playing" with this stone. If you trust the man that gave it to you, then you should use it only the way he explained and no other way. And I wouldn't touch the rock too much, because if he is a physical alchemist, it may have actual lead in it.
