Chrysanthemum Stone Sculpture

Characterized by flower-like shapes embedded into the face. Chrysanthemum stone is named for the unique patterns embedded in the stone that resemble flowering chrysanthemums. The actual "flowers" are embedded in a grey limestone with the minerals Celestite and Calcite constituting the "petal" and Chert the "stamen". All Chrysanthemum stone is from the Yangzi River in China. In 2009 the only source for this divine stone was to be covered by a dam and 300 feet of water. Perfect as an eye catching decorative piece, collectible, or an incredibly unique gift. Measures 7"h, 5"w, 2"d.
