This is a trick question with two very different meanings and a twist in the first!
Of course, when a stone is beyond a certain size it is no longer a stone but a rock. What size? Welll...
Uluru was formerly called "Ayer's Rock" so it doesn't qualify. It's made of sandstone but it's not A stone. It's a Rock!
Some could argue that the largest stone in the world (from another perspective) was to be found at Woodstock...
And at the Grateful Dead concerts...
These days, from the same perspective, the largest legal stone could be Amsterdam :)

Leshan -- Home of World's Largest Stone Buddha Statue
The city of Leshan, 167 kilometers from Chengdu, is located at the confluence of three rivers -- the Minjaing, Qingyijiang, and Dadu. Dating back more than two thousand years, it has been a prosperous town with beautiful scenery attractive to common people and great writers and scholars alike. The towering Soaring to the Clouds Hill (Lingyunshan) about half a kilometer east of Leshan town is the site of many historical buildings, temples, and stone tablets with inscriptions and calligraphic works by celebrated writers over the dynasties. It is also the site of the world's largest stone statue of Buddha.
