Uncommon Aussie Suiseki and viewing stones

[fossil finder]

This large red and green jasper is one of my biggest and rarest viewing stones. It is deceivingly heavy and has a nice silky patina that is evidence of many years of exposure to alluvial processes slowly shaping its present form. It was found in a gravel drift on the Macintyre River near Bingara.


The second viewing stone is a natural adventurine pebble from a favourite location on the New England Tableland. Adventurine is a uncommon form of quartz often found with mica and gold. This example is of gem quality and is displayed on a pock-marked stone found nearby.


The third stone is the petrified tree stump showing splitting/shrinkage that probably occurred prior to the tree becoming fossilized.
