Beautiful stones

There are some stones that have unique features on them. Overnight they become collectors' darlings and fetched millions in auction houses.

The stone above depicts a small chick being hatched. The egg shell cracks open and the chick reveals itself to the world. This stone fetched a record 130 millions RMB in an auction for rare stones.

This stone shows a scene every one in China is familiar with, that is a scenery appeared in a 5 RMB note. The first owner found it along a river bank and later sold the stone for 20000 RMB. When the same stone was auctioned for 2 millions, he regretted for having sold it in the first place. He later found another stone with the features that resemble another scene that appeared in the 10 RMB note. This time he said he will not sell it again as this type of stone is hard to come by.

This particular stone shows two figures (father and son) fishing by the beach. This is unique in that the stone depicts a strong bonding between father and son. It is an ideal gift to give to your love ones, if you can afford it.

 

This one shows the image of a girl (at the centre) and that of a baby (on the right). No wonder rare stone collectors in China are keen to possess this type of art from nature. If you happen to see some interesting stone that look like some art form, remember there is a market for such things in China.
