rock from the Bahamas

I just bot back from our cruise, I was fortunate to be able to bring back about 30lbs of nice base rock from the shores of 1 of the islands we went to. I just got done boiling it for the last half hour. now I cant decide if i should put it in the sump for awhile, or just go right to the display tank. what would you do?

Not sure honestly....but are you even allowed to take rock from Bahamas? Did you have to go through customs with it?
