Chinese Scholar Rock Chrysanthemum Stone
About the Item
An extraordinary specimen created by nature millions of years ago, this large and stunning Chinese black chrysanthemum stone features white crystalline mineral (calcite and chalcedony) formation. The black Andulusite body contrasts dramatically with the radiating white petals of rhombohedral crystal matrix forms, resembling a fully opened chrysanthemum flower. Highly collectible as gemstone, it was cherished as scholar stone in Chinese culture and graced the collector's study. The stones were mostly found and collected in Southern part of China, with the black type likely from Hubei Provence, Enshi County. This particular stone on offer is in the form of a vertical slab with the white crystalline formation going through to the opposite sides, forming a near mirrored image. This rare quality also makes the stone displayable from both sides. The carved wood stand has stylized leaf-shaped feet, a reference to the chrysanthemum image on the stone.
For two very similar stones, see reference book Spirit Stone by Kemin Hu and Thomas S. Elias, page 136-137.

Japanese "Suiseki" Mountain View Scholar's Stone / Elegant Mountain Scenery
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a stone mined in Japan.
Not only in China but also in Japan from ancient times, rocks in the mountains have been shaved and stones for viewing have been quarried.
Such stones for appreciation are collectively called "suiseki".
Suiseki means "water" and "stone".
The name comes from the fact that I enjoyed pouring water on the stones and changing the color of the stones.
And this item is also Suiseki, but it is for viewing without splashing water.
It is made with the image of a mountain view.
The flow of the river...
