Chrysanthemum Stone on stone base
Sold by the each.
Chrysanthemum Stones are a new addition to our catalog. Jeff picked up a limited quantity. Beautiful specimens of what has become known as Chrysanthemum Stone. This very unusual material is composed of dolomite, gypsum-bearing clay, limestone, or porphyry with lath-like crystals of andalusite, celestite, feldspar, or calcite which are grouped into a natural crystal pattern resembling blooming Chrysanthemum flowers.
From Hunan, China, this material is taken from large boulders of a dark gray or black limestone matrix that has these beautiful flower-like patterns of andalusite inside. As the name implies, it is shaped like a Chrysanthemum, the offical symbol of the Imperial Family of China. Chrysanthemum Stone vary between 2 to 3 inches across. Some are darker than others.
