Daylight spell cast on a rock

The daylight spell says:

...you cast the spell on an object that isn’t being worn or carried, causing the sunlight to fill a 60-foot Emanation originating from that object.

If I cast it on a stone/pebble, then can I carry that stone around with me? 

Does the stone/pebble have to be laying around or can I carry one around for this purpose?

If I can carry it, can I place it in a mesh type pocket on my pants?

Yes.

Technically you'd have to put it down to cast the spell on it, but you can be carrying it before and/or after.

I don't see why not.

I've cast (and had players cast) Light, Darkness, Daylight on something fixed to the inside of the bottom of a scroll case.  You can then open the other end, and have a flashlight.  (Or a darklight?)
