An uncommon mineral decor accessory, the chrysanthemum stone is a statement interior design element with a custom-carved wood base. It is a dark gray to black limestone matrix with andalusite crystals resembling chrysanthemums. The stone contains more than 10 trace elements, including selenium, strontium, gold, silver, and bismuth.
The black rock is limestone. Although limestones are generally lighter in color, this one is entirely black because of substantial amounts of organic carbon.
The white pattern on the rock is formed of crystals of Celestine (or celestite), a strontium-sulfate mineral. Celestine commonly forms elongated crystals of the form seen here, although these are relatively rare in that they’re so thin and on the surface of another rock. The white pattern is the reason it is also referred to as a flower stone.
Cleaning Instructions: Clean this specimen with a soft microfiber cloth.
