About the Item

Following the sculpted form, marbled coloring, and natural veining of this one-of-a-kind stone can be deeply meditative. Viewed as a source of beauty and creativity, Chinese scholar-artists would decorate their studios and gardens with similar stones and plumb their mesmerizing forms for inspiration. This meditation stone has a fluid pattern of gold-and-white strata, overlapping like watercolors on a canvas. Artisans have transformed the rough rock formation into a decorative sculpture, polishing the stone to accentuate its smooth contours and organic form.
