Calcite
Lechang Co., Shaoguan
Guangdong
China

The obvious size and beauty of this incredible decorative specimen is undeniable. The work of art is an intriguing representation of the vaunted Chinese culture, and this unique form of expression is superb. Crafted in a traditional style, the huge carving represents a boundary layer between deposits of Calcite and Aragonite where the artist's design has been etched to its visual glory. This piece of fine mineral art reveals a beautiful scene. Presented on a custom hand-carved wooden base, such examples are used for home décor in a feng shui manner to bring the majesty of natural stones into the modern home design. The contrast of the white scenery against the rich, opaque caramel- orange background rock is sublime.
Measurements: 13.98 x 13.39 x 2.76 inches (35.50 x 34.00 x 7.00 cm)
