- Abstract Scholar Rock Viewing Stone on Wood StandLocated in Atlanta, GAOn offer is a large and expressive scholar rock on a fitted wood stand collected by an American collector in Palm Desert, CA circa 1980s.

While Chinese scholar stones are appreciated all over the world, many collectors also look into their local stone sources that reflect the same spirit and philosophy of using the viewing stone...Category
