Guohua picture stones are not painted pictures, but completely natural stones.
Somehow pictures appear in the rock and look surprising like ancient Chinese art.
Of course, each one is different, so a little luck with the draw but our supplier has endeavoured to ensure all beautiful pictures. Only found in Guangxi province the rock is an ancient very fine-grained limestone with rich iron oxide content with patterns naturally formed by manganese dendrites.
They tell us the rock was formed over a million years ago, and crafted and polished by local skilled artisans to bring out the ancient natural art and then mounted on rosewood bases.
