Genuine Chrysanthemum mineral specimens (in large sizes) are becoming quite rare. We cannot replace this one-of-a-kind flower stone specimen once it has sold due to availability. This listing includes the custom carved wood base.
This rare stone consists of Limestone, Dolomite, Porphyry, Clay, & Gypsum. It has natural inclusions of Calcite, Feldspar, Crandallite, Andalusite, and Celestite. These inclusions are generally white on a very dark matrix and resemble that of a Chrysanthemum flower. They are believed to have been formed with the help of hot temperatures and organic-rich mud on sea floors.
How can you tell if it's a real chrysanthemum stone? When finding this mineral on the market you may notice some specimens that have “flowers” that appear to be painted on. That is because they most likely are. Notice in our images that the white "flower" appears to be bursting onto the black stone.
