Natural Malachite Rock on Display Stand as a Scholar Stone
-
Description
A natural malachite rock specimen with striking green and black colors fitted on a wood stand for viewing and meditating. The gemstone has pointed and jagged surface on one side and a botryoidal form on the other side, revealing a beautiful, mottled pattern with intense colors of contrasting green and black. It is displayed as a viewing stone on a fitted wood base by an American collector of Chinese scholar rocks. Known as "Peacock Rock" in Chinese, there was a more recent tradition in China (from Qing Dynasty and on) to collect the exotic gemstones such as malachite and turquoise specimen and place them in the study as the viewing stones. It was believed that it has power to bless the family and ward off evils.
This stone is in its natural form, appears not being polished. - More Information
